[Verse 1]
D
Midnight..and I'm a-waiting on the twelve-oh-five.
                                                    G
Hoping it'll take me just a little farther down the line.
D
Moonlight..you're just a heartache in disguise..
 
won't you keep my heart from breaking if it's only for
             G
a very short time?
 
[Chorus]
A                G        D       A
Playing with the queen of hearts..knowing it ain't 
D      G
really smart.
    G               A    D            G     A         D
The joker ain't the only fool..who'll do anything for you.
A          G       D    A                D       G
Laying out another lie..thinking 'bout a life of crime.
G                A       D      G        A        D
That's what I'll have to do..to keep me away from you.
 
[Verse 2]
D
Honey, you know it makes you mad..why is everybody telling 
                        G
everybody what you have done?
D
Baby, I know it makes you sad..but when they're handing out 
                                             G
the heartaches, you know you got to have you some.
 
[Chorus]
A                G        D       A
Playing with the queen of hearts..knowing it ain't 
D      G
really smart.
    G               A    D            G     A         D
The joker ain't the only fool..who'll do anything for you.
A          G       D    A                D       G
Laying out another lie..thinking 'bout a life of crime.
G                A       D      G        A        D
That's what I'll have to do..to keep me away from you.

[Verse 3]
D
Lovers, I know you've had a few..but hide your heart beneath 
                                         G
the covers and tell 'em they're the only one.
    D
And others..they know just what I'm going through.
                                                               G
And it's hard to be a lover when you say you're only in it for fun.
 
[Chorus]
A                G        D       A
Playing with the queen of hearts..knowing it ain't 
D      G
really smart.
    G               A    D            G     A         D
The joker ain't the only fool..who'll do anything for you.

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.
