You let the people see, just who you wanna be,
Bbm7Db/Eb Ab7M
And everynight you shine, just like a superstar.
Abm7B/Db F#7M Gm7(b5)
The type of life that's played, a temptin' masquerade
Bbm7Db/Eb Ab7M
You dress you walk you talk, You're who you think you are.
(Repeat chords for first Verse using the following lyrics)
Street life, You can run away from time,
Street life, For a nickel, or a dime,
Street life, But you better not get old,
Street life, Or you're gonna feel the cold.
(Repeat Verse chords)
There's always love for sale
A grown up fairy tale
Prince charming always smiles
Behind a silver spoon
And if you keep it young
Your song is always sung
Your love will pay your way beneath the silver moon
