[INTRO]
[C] [G/B] [Am] [G] [C] [G/B] [Am] [G] [C]

[VERSE 1]
Jack of Diamonds,[G/B] Queen of Spades [Am]
Fingers [Am/G]tremble and the [F]memory fades
And it's a [C]foolish man[G] who tries to bluff the [C]dealer [G]

[VERSE 2]
The [C]Joker has laughed,[G/B] Lady Luck smiled [Am]
The Aces were [Am/G]high and the [F]Deuces were wild
When you're [C]down and losin',[G] everyone's a [F]cheater [C]

[CHORUS]
[F]Got a little more than you [G]bargained for [C]
A little more than you had in mind [F]
They called your bluff and[G] twenty-one
Beats[Am] nineteen every [G]time [C]

[VERSE 3]
Life's a lot [G/B]like that, my friend [Am]
Luck runs [Am/G]out, the [F]winning streak ends [C]
When the deck is stacked,[G] you can't bluff the [C]dealer [G] [C]

[VERSE 4]
Just when things were [G/B]going fine [Am]
[Am/G]Someone jumped you [F]from behind
And [C]when you're down and losin',[G] everyone's a [F]cheater [C]

[CHORUS]
[F]You can't win and you [G]can't break even [C]
You can't get out of the game [F]
You shouldn't stay, but [G]you ain't leavin'
'Cause your[Am] luck could change a[G]gain

[CHORUS]
[F]You can't win and you [G]can't break even [C]
You can't get out of the game [F]
You shouldn't stay, but [G]you ain't leavin'
'Cause your[Am] luck could change a[G]gain [C]

[VERSE 5]
Jack of Diamonds,[G/B] Queen of Spades [Am]
Fingers [Am/G]tremble and the [F]memory fades
And it's a [C]foolish man[G] who tries to bluff the [C]dealer [G]
And it's a [C]foolish man[G] who tries to bluff the [F]dealer [C]
