Rodney Crowell – Queen Of Hearts (Guitar)

A
Midnight, and I'm awaiting on the 12:05,

                                                    D
hoping it'll take me just a little farther down the line

A
Moonlight, you're just a heartache in disguise;

                                                                    D
won't you keep my heart from breaking if it's only for a very short time?

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

                    E    A            D     E         A
The joker ain't the only fool, who'll do anything for you

E           D      A    E                 A       D
Laying out another lie, thinking about a life of crime;

                 E       A      D        E        A
that's what I'll have to do, to keep me away from you

A
Honey, you know it makes you mad;

                                                 D
why is everybody telling everybody what you have done?

A
Baby, I know it makes you sad,

                                                                         D
but when they're handing out the heartaches you know you got to have you some

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

                    E    A            D     E         A
The joker ain't the only fool, who'll do anything for you

E           D      A    E                 A       D
Laying out another lie, thinking 'bout a life of crime;

                 E       A      D        E        A       D      E       A
that's what I'll have to do, to keep me away from you, to keep me away from you

Lovers, I know you've had a few

                                                                     D
But hide your heart beneath the covers and tell 'em they're the only one

    A
And others, they know just what I'm going through

                                                                 D
And it's a-hard to be a lover when you say you're only in it for fun

E                      D        A       E                A      D
I've Playing with the queen of hearts, knowing it ain't really smart

                     E    A           D     E         A
The joker ain't the only fool, who'll do anything for you

           E           D      A    E                A       D
I've been Laying out another lie, thinking 'bout a life of crime;

                        E       A      D        E        A 
Cause that's what I'll have to do, to keep me away from you,

E                      D        A       E                A      D
I've Playing with the queen of hearts, knowing it ain't really smart

                       E       A      D        E        A 
Cause that's what I'll have to do, to keep me away from you,

          D         E        A
I want to keep me away from you

          D         E        A
I want to keep me away from you
