[intro]

D     D  D  D          D              D         D    D
Midnight,    and I'm a-waiting on the twelve-oh-five
 D           D              D              D/E - D/F#  G*  G*  G*  G*
Hoping it'll take me just a little farther down the line
D     D  D  D              D          D      D    D
Moonlight,   you're just a heartache in disguise;   Won't you
D                  D                D          D/E - D/F#  G*  G*  G*  G*
keep my heart from breaking if it's only for a very short time

A                G         D     D    A                D       G    G
Playing with the queen of hearts,     knowing it ain't really smart
     G              A     D   D         G     A         D   D
The joker ain't the only fool    who'll do anything for you
A           G      D    D    A                D         G    G
Laying out another lie,      thinking 'bout a life of crime
G                A        D   D    G        A         D   D     D  D
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

B  A  E  E    B  E  A  A    A  B  E  E    A  B  E  E    A  B  E  E
[guitar solo, key of E; next verse goes back to key of D]

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

[back to key of E, like guitar solo:]
n.c.             n.c.       n.c.  n.c.    n.c.         n.c.        n.c.   A
Playing with the queen of hearts,     and knowing it ain't really smart
    A               B     E   E         A     B         E   E
The joker ain't the only fool    who'll do anything for you
B           A      E    E    B                E         A    A
Laying out another lie,      thinking 'bout a life of crime
A                B        E   E    A        B         E   E
That's what I'll have to do     to keep me away from you
