Verse 1:
G5
Midnight, I'm a-waiting on the 1205 
                                                    C5
Hoping it'll take me just a little farther down the line 
G5
Moonlight, you're just a heartache in disguise 

Won't you keep my heart from breaking 
                              C5
If it's only for a very short time 


Chorus:
D5                C5        G5       D5                G5      C5
Playing with the Queen of Hearts, knowing it ain't really smart 
                    D5    G5            C5     D5         G5
The joker ain't the only fool, who'll do anything for you 
D5           C5      G5    D5                G5       C5
Laying out another lie, thinking about a life of crime 
                 D5       G5      C5        D5        G5
That's what I'll have to do, to keep me away from you 


Verse 2:
Baby, it makes me feel so bad 
Why is everybody telling everybody what you have done 
And baby, I know it makes you sad 
But when they're handing out the heartaches 
You know you got to have you some 


Chorus


Verse 3:
Lovers, I know you've had a few 
You hide your heart beneath the covers 
And you tell 'em they're the only one 
And others know what I'm going through 
It's so hard to be a lover 
When you say you only do it for fun 


Chorus (Rpt. last line x3)
