Verse 1:
[G]Midnight, I'm a-waiting on the 1205
Hoping it'll take me just a little farther down the [C]line
[G]Moonlight, you're just a heartache in disguise
Won't you keep my heart from breaking
If it's only for a very short [C]time
Chorus:
[D]Playing with the [C]Queen of [G]Hearts, [D]knowing it ain't [G]really [C]smart
The joker ain't the [D]only [G]fool, who'll [C]do any[D]thing for [G]you
[D]Laying out a[C]nother [G]lie, [D]thinking about a [G]life of [C]crime
That's what I'll [D]have to [G]do, to [C]keep me a[D]way from [G]you
Verse 2:
Baby, it makes me feel so bad
Why is everybody telling everybody what you have done
And baby, I know it makes you sad
But when they're handing out the heartaches
You know you got to have you some
Chorus
Verse 3:
Lovers, I know you've had a few
You hide your heart beneath the covers
And you tell 'em they're the only one
And others know what I'm going through
It's so hard to be a lover
When you say you only do it for fun
Chorus (Rpt. last line x3)
