[Intro]

D#m    G#m   C#   F# F#/F (4x)



[Verse 1]

D#m    G#m           C#            F# F#/F

The casino floor is full of men so frightened

D#m    G#m           C#

Trying to make good pay

D#m    G#m

To win or lose

C#                   F# F#/F

We know just how our night ends

D#m    G#m           C#

Gonna throw it all away





[Chorus]

B       A#m           G#m              F#

Oh, but suddenly you draw the queen of diamonds

B       A#m           G#m              F#

And everyone around you turns to silence

B       A#m           G#m              F#      C#

Another plea to keep the repo man from dialing your name

A#m  B     C#

Again and again



A#m7     A#m     G#m



[Verse 2]

D#m    G#m           C#            F# F#/F

You think of all the gifts that you would give her

D#m    G#m           C#

Trying to make her stay, oh

D#m    G#m           C#            F# F#/F

And you remember all the love she carried with her

D#m    G#m           C#

Like a bitter cheap champaign

B       A#m           G#m              F#

Now that's history, you've drawn the queen of diamonds

B       A#m           G#m              F#

It'll be limousines and caribbean islands

B           A#m           G#m              F#

You can't wait to see her standing there just smiling

C#            A#m   B       C#    A#m7

For a change, change, for a change

   A#m          G#m

What a fools game, oh







D#m    G#m   C#   F# F#/F

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

D#m    G#m   C#

Oh, oh, oh

[Bridge]

A                      E/G#

Those whiskey drinks, they give you your ambition

G                      D/F#

While the bar ladys, they work for their commission

D         C#m            Bm              A

It was limousines and caribbean islands

D         C#m            Bm              A          E

What you didn't see is the dealer, he was hiding an ace

C#m     D        E    C#m7

An ace, what an ace

   C#m             Bm

What a cruel, cruel game, oh
