Queen Of Hearts - Dave Edmunds

B A E  B E A  A B E  A B E    

E     
Midnight, and I'm awaiting on the 12:05,
                                                    A
hoping it'll take me just a little farther down the line
E     
Moonlight, you're just a heartache in disguise;
                                                                    A
won't you keep my heart from breaking if it's only for a very short time?

CHORUS
B                A        E       B                E      A    
Playing with the queen of hearts, knowing it ain't really smart
                    B    E            A     B         E      
The joker ain't the only fool, who'll do anything for you
B           A      E    B                E       A    
Laying out another lie, thinking about a life of crime;
                 B       E      A        B        E   
that's what I'll have to do, to keep me away from you

E
Honey, you know it makes you mad;
                                                 A
why is everybody telling everybody what you have done?
E
Baby, I know it makes you sad, but when they're handing out the 
                                        A
heartaches you know you got to have you some

E
Lovers, I know you've had a few
                                                                     A
But hide your heart beneath the covers and tell 'em they're the only one
    E
And others, they know just what I'm going through
                                                                 A
And it's a-hard to be a lover when you say you're only in it for fun

CHORUS/OUTTRO
B                A        E       B                E      A    
Playing with the queen of hearts, knowing it ain't really smart
A                   B    E            A     B         E      
The joker ain't the only fool, who'll do anything for you
B           A      E    B                E       A   
Laying out another lie, thinking 'bout a life of crime
A                B       E      A        B        E   
That's what I'll have to do, to keep me away from you
B                A        E        cold end
Playing with the queen of hearts
