Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Whe[Ebdim]n you pla[B]y[E][A][D][Ebdim][E][A]
[D]cards,
pretty [F#dim]baby,
[D]don't you kno[G]w you got
to deal some[Bb]times?
You dealt me [D]a bad hand, [Bm]baby,
[Em]but now the deck[A] is mine[D].[G][D]
[A]Now, the [D]ace is for the first time
that I fell in love with you.
The deuce means the second time
when there were just we two.
[F#m]The three [D]means the third party,
and I know you know his name.
On the fourth time I saw you,
you tried to play a little game
[G]when you[Bb] played card[D]s.
Pretty [Am]baby,
[D]don't you kno[G]w
you always play to [Bb]win?
I'm stealing [D]you your hand [Bm]baby,
[Em]no use to look[A] at me and grin[D][G][D]
[A]Now the [D]five means
I bought you a five carat diamond ring
The six stands for six years
I've tried to give you everything [A]I'm [D]holding
out the 7 for the Sundays we always knew,
but the 8 means August,
the month you said we were through.
[G]And the [D]9 stands for those 9 y[Am]ears
[A]that you've alw[G]ays wanted
to have your [Bb]way.
10 [D]is the number of [Bm]men, baby,
[Em]that tried to see [A]you every day.[D][G][D]
[A]Now, the [D]Jack is your lover
who tried to break up our romance
The Queen is you pretty mama
who's just living by chance
[A]I'm[D] supposed to be the king
and I'm bound to wear the crown
So you better be careful
you ain't dead
[G]when the dea[D]l goe[G]s down
Cause you know,
[Bm]you made[D] me love you
Now you're [G]tryin' to use me for your [Gm]slave
If you [D]don't watch out, [Bm]baby,
you'll be layin' in your [C]grave[G]
[D]
