{intro}
D5 D5 D5 D5 D5 D5 D5 D5
Midnight, and I'm a-waiting on the twelve-oh-five
D5 D5 D5 D5 - D5 G* G* G* G*
Hoping it'll take me just a little farther down the line
D5 D5 D5 D5 D5 D5 D5 D5
Moonlight, you're just a heartache in disguise; Won't you
D5 D5 D5 D5 - D5 G* G* G* G*
keep my heart from breaking if it's only for a very short time
A5 G5 D5 D5 A5 D5 G5 G5
Playing with the queen of hearts, knowing it ain't really smart
G5 A5 D5 D5 G5 A5 D5 D5
The joker ain't the only fool who'll do anything for you
A5 G5 D5 D5 A5 D5 G5 G5
Laying out another lie, thinking 'bout a life of crime
G5 A5 D5 D5 G5 A5 D5 D5 D5 D5
That's what I'll have to do to keep me away from you
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
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
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
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
{back to key of E, like guitar solo:}
n/c/ n/c/ n/c/ n/c/ n/c/ n/c/ n/c/ A5
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
B5 A5 E5 E5 B5 E5 A5 A5
Laying out another lie, thinking 'bout a life of crime
A5 B5 E5 E5 A5 B5 E5 E5
That's what I'll have to do to keep me away from you
