Lyrics of Street Life by Joe Sample
I still hang around
Neither lost nor found
You′re the lonely sound of music in the night
Nights are always bright
Thats all thats left for me
Fm7 | Bbm7 | Fm7 | Bbm7
I play the street life
Because there's no place I can go
Street life
It′s the only life I know
Street life
And there's a thousand parts to play
Street life
Until you play your life away
BRIDGE 1:
Bbm7 Eb7sus
You let the people see
Just who you want to be
Bbm7 Eb7sus AbMaj7
And every night you shine just like a super star
That's how the life is played
GbMaj7 Gm7b5
A ten cent Masquerade
Bbm7 Eb7sus AbMaj7 C7
You dress, you walk, you talk â€" you′re who you think you are
2 (Chords as in 1):
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
BRIDGE 2:
Bbm7 Eb7sus
There's always love for sale
A grown-up fairy tale
Bbm7 Eb7sus AbMaj7
Prince charming always smiles behind a silver spoon
Dbm7 BMaj7
And if you kept it young
Bm7 AMaj7
Your song is always sung
Bbm7 Eb7sus AbMaj7
Your love will pay your way beneath the silver moon
EMaj7 | Dbm7 B7
Street life
EMaj7 | Dbm7 B7
Street life
FMaj7 | Dm7 C7
Street life
FMaj7 | Dm7 |
Street life
Bb7sus (7 bars) | Cm7b5 C7
I play the
Street life
Because there′s no place…
Writer(s): Will Jennings, Joe Sample
