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

[Dm]He's laughing wi[Dm/Db]th another girl
[Am7/C]And playing with[Am7/Cb] another heart.
[Dm]Placing high sta[Dm/Db]kes, making hearts ache.
[Am7/C]He's loved in se[Am7/Cb]ven languages.
[Dm]Diamond nights a[Dm/Db]nd ruby lights, high in the sky.
[Am7/C]Heaven help him,[Am7/Cb] when he falls.

[Dm]Diamond [Am7]life,[Gm7] [Am7] [Dm]lover [Am7]boy.[Gm7][Am7]
We move in space with minimum waste and maximum joy.
[Dm]City lig[Am7]hts [Gm7] [Am7] and [Dm]busin[Am7]ess n[Gm7]ight[Am7]s.
When [Dm]you requ[Am7]ire s[Gm7]tree[Am7]tcar desire for hi[Dm]gher [Am7]heigh[Gm7]ts.[Am7]

[Gm7]No place for [Am7]beginners or sensitive h[Dm]earts[Dm/Db][Am7/C][Am7/B]
[Gm7]When sentiment i[Am7]s left to chance[Dm].[Dm/Db][Am7/C][Am7/B]
[Gm7]No place to be e[Am7]nding but somewhere to s[Dm]tart.
Fill A

No need to ask.
He's a s[Dm]mooth op[Am7]erator,[Gm7][Am7]
smo[Dm]oth o[Am7]perat[Gm7]or,[Am7]
sm[Dm]ooth o[Am7]perat[Gm7]or,[Am7]
sm[Dm]ooth o[Am7]perat[Gm7]or.[Am7]
[Dm]Coast to[Am7] coas[Gm7]t, L[Am7]A to Chicago, we[Dm]stern[Am7] male[Gm7].[Am7]
[Dm]Across t[Am7]he north and sou[Gm7]th, to Key[Am7] Largo, lov[Dm]e for[Am7] sale[Gm7].[Am7]

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]A license to love, insur[Am7]ance to[Dm] hold.
[Gm7]Melts all your memories and chan[Am7]ge into go[Dm]ld.
[Gm7]His eyes are like angels[Am7] but his heart is [Dm]cold.
