Sade Lyrics - Diamond Life
SMOOTH OPERATOR
Words and Music: Sade Adu and St. John

Dm		Dm/Db
He's laughing with another girl
Am7/C		Am7/Cb
And playing with another heart.
Dm		Dm/Db
Placing high stakes, making hearts ache.
Am7/C		Am7/Cb
He's loved in seven languages.
Dm		Dm/Db
Diamond nights and ruby lights, high in the sky.
Am7/C		Am7/Cb
Heaven help him, when he falls.

Dm	Am7  Gm7 Am7	Dm    Am7  Gm7 Am7
Diamond life, 		lover boy.
We move in space with minimum waste and maximum joy.
Dm	Am7  Gm7 Am7        Dm   Am7  Gm7 Am7
City lights 		and business nights.
     Dm	     Am7  Gm7 Am7  		Dm   Am7  Gm7 Am7
When you require streetcar desire for higher heights.

Gm7		Am7			Dm     Dm/Db  Am7/C   Am7/B
No place for 	beginners or sensitive hearts
Gm7		Am7		Dm	Dm/Db  Am7/C   Am7/B
When sentiment is left to chance.
Gm7		Am7			Dm
No place to be ending but somewhere to start.
Fill A

No need to ask.

Dm	Am7  Gm7 Am7             Dm   Am7  Gm7 Am7
Coast to coast, LA to Chicago, western male.
Dm	Am7  		Gm7       Am7	     Dm   Am7  Gm7 Am7
Across the north and south, to Key Largo, love for sale.

Face to face, each classic case.

We shadow box and double cross,

Yet need the chase.
""Some where here is the guitar, sax solo" "Dorfun make it your own
solo"

Gm7 			Am7    Dm
A license to love, insurance to hold.
Gm7 				Am7       Dm
Melts all your memories and change into gold.
Gm7 			Am7  		  Dm
His eyes are like angels but his heart is cold.
Fill A
No need to ask.
