((I play the/…) street life              [Chorus]

 (Because there's no place I can go/    Am7  Am7

  And there's a thousand cards to play/ Em7  Em7

  Until you play your life away) x1~3)  Am7  Am7

        Cm7 F BbM7 Bm7 - D7 G CM7 E7

You let those people see  - Just who you wanna be

And every night you shine - Just like a superstar

The type of life that's played

A temptin' masquerade                [Intro] (x2)

You dress, you walk, you talk           Am7  Am7

You're who you think you are            Dm7 Dm7


Street life - You can run away from time [Chorus]

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


There's always love for sale   ╔═══════════════╗

A grown-up fairy tale          ║  Street Life  ║

Prince charming always smiles  ║ The Crusaders ║

Behind a silver spoon          ╚═══════════════╝

And if you keep it young

Your song is always sung                  [Verse]

Your love will pay your way       (G#M7  D#7

Beneath the silver moon            Fm7 D#7 x2)
