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

Dm (xx0231@1)Dm/Db
He's laughing with another girl
Am7/C		Am7/Cb
And playing with another heart.
Dm (xx0231@1)Dm/Db
Placing high stakes, making hearts ache.
Am7/C		Am7/Cb
He's loved in seven languages.
Dm (xx0231@1)Dm/Db
Diamond nights and ruby lights, high in the sky.
Am7/C		Am7/Cb
Heaven help him, when he falls.

Face to face, each classic case.

We shadow box and double cross,

Yet need the chase.
