[G]Once I was a [C]king...I thought, [G]always a [C]king..
[G]Cause I just [Em]captured someone's [A]heart[D].
[G]But may I ex[C]plain...[G]I treated her [C]mean..
[G]and then my [Em]kingdom fell a[A]part.[D]
CHORUS:

And [Cm]when I found her gone from sight..
I found a [G]lover..became a joker.

[G]beause he [Em]had lost every[A]thing[D].
[G]The joker went [C]wild...[G]and he couldn't [C]smile.
