Am                              Dm
Girl, is there something in the night
     C          G      Am
That draws us together
                            Dm      C  G
Are these moments worth the fight?


[Verse 2]
Am                        Dm
Why must we keep it to ourselves
    C         G      Am
The secret we hold inside
                      Dm
Let me take you in my arms
         C             G             F
With the strength of a love that's denied


[Pre-Chorus]
          G        Am            F
And we've always believed in our heart
         G             Am             F
That the chances we've missed still exist 
       C       F         Am
In the world after dark


[Chorus]
F                     Dm
Backstreet love affair
                    G            Am
Running through the heart of the night
F                     Dm  F   Am    Dm  Am  C  G
Backstreet love affair


[Verse 3]
Am                            Dm
Girl, there's a tension I can taste
     C              G      Am
That speaks for the danger
                       Dm    C     G
Let the warnings go to waste, whoa-oh-oh-oh


[Verse 4]
Am                         Dm
Eyes that reflect a secret fire
     C          G      Am
That covers the fear inside
                           Dm
In a flash we're lost from sight
     C           G             F
To explore the romance that we hide


[Pre-Chorus]
        G             Am            F
And the thrill of the chase plays a part
       G          Am         F
In the chances we take, we escape 
       C       F         Am
To the world after dark


[Chorus]
F                     Dm
Backstreet love affair
                    G            Am
Running through the heart of the night
F                     Dm 
Backstreet love affair
               G           Am
Meet me in the city tonight

Backstreet love affair
                    G            Am
Running through the heart of the night
F                     Dm  F   Am    F  Am  D    E      Am
Backstreet love affair,                         ohhhhh


[Chorus]
