VERSE 1:
[D] Midnight, and I'm waiting on the twelve-o-five
Hoping it'll take me just a little further down the [G] line
[D] Moonlight, you're just a heartache in disguise
Won't you keep my heart from breaking if it's only for a very short [G] time

CHORUS 1:
[A] Playing with the [G] queen of [D] hearts
And [A] knowing it ain't [D] really [G] smart
The [G] joker ain't the [A] only [D] fool
Who'll [G] do any-[A]-thing for [D] you

CHORUS 2:
[A] Planning out an-[G]-other [D] line
[A] Thinking about a [D] life of [G] crime
[G] That's what I'll [A] have to [D] do-ooo
To [G] keep me a-[A]-way from [D] you

VERSE 2:
[D] Honey, I know it makes you mad
Why is everybody telling everybody what you have [G] done
[D] Baby, I know it makes you sad
When they're handing out the heartaches you know you've got to have [G] some

VERSE 3:
[D] Lovers, I know you've had a few
And how you hide beneath the covers and tell them they're the only [G] one
[D] And others, they know just what I'm going through
It's so hard to be a lover when you say you're only in it for [G] fun

REPEAT CHORUS 1:

[B] Playing with the [A] queen of [E] hearts
