[Eb] [B] [Fm]
[Bbm] [Fm]
[Bbm] [A] [Fm] I play the streetlight because [Bbm] there's no place I can go [Cm] home.

[Cm] Streetlight, [Fm] or you're gonna feel the cold.
[Bbm] There's always [Bb] love for sale, upon [Fm] a fairy tale.
[Bbm] Prince Charming [Db] always smiles, [Eb] behind a silver spoon.
