 VERSE 1
 (E)              E    
 >From a jack to a king
                      B            
 >From loneliness to a wedding ring
 
 I played an ace and I won a queen
                           E    
 And walked away with your heart

 With no regret I stacked the cards last night
 
 And lady luck played her hand just right
                          E   A E7 
 To make me king of your heart

 For just a little while I thought that I might lose the game

 Then just in time I saw the twinkle in your eye

 You made me king of your heart
