Midnight,    and I'm a-waiting on the twelve-oh-five 
 D5           D5              D5              D5 - D5  G*  G*  G*  G*

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

Playing with the queen of hearts,     knowing it ain't really smart

Laying out another lie,      thinking 'bout a life of crime

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

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
