QUEEN OF HEARTS
[The G s with asterisks (G*) have some quick Gsus4 s in them.]
[Intro]
[Verse]
Midnight, and I m a-waiting on the twelve-oh-five
- * * * *
Hoping it ll take me just a little farther down the line
Moonlight, you re just a heartache in disguise; Won t you
- * * * *
keep my heart from breaking if it s only for a very short time
[Chorus]
Playing with the queen of hearts, knowing it ain t really smart
The joker ain t the only fool who ll do anything for you
Laying out another lie, thinking bout a life of crime
That s what I ll have to do to keep me away from you
[Verse]
Honey, you know it makes you mad
Why is everybody telling everybody what you have done
Baby, I know it makes you sad
But when they re handing out the heartaches you know you got to have you some
[Chorus]
Playing with the queen of hearts, knowing it ain t really smart
The joker ain t the only fool who ll do anything for you
Laying out another lie, thinking bout a life of crime
That s what I ll have to do to keep me away from you
[Guitar Solo]
(key of E; next verse goes back to key of D)
[Verse]
Lovers, I know you ve had a few
But hide your heart beneath the covers and tell em they re the only one
And others, they know just what I m going through
And it s a-hard to be a lover when you say you re only in it for fun
[Pre-Chorus]
Playing with the queen of hearts, knowing it ain t really smart
The joker ain t the only fool who ll do anything for you
[Chorus]
(back to key of E, like guitar solo)
N.C. N.C. N.C. N.C. N.C. N.C. N.C.
Playing with the queen of hearts, and knowing it ain t really smart
The joker ain t the only fool who ll do anything for you
Laying out another lie, thinking bout a life of crime
That s what I ll have to do to keep me away from you
[Outro]
