C#F# F#/F We know just how our night ends
D#mG#mC# Gonna throw it all away
 [Chorus] 
BA#mG#mF# Oh, but suddenly you draw the queen of diamonds
BA#mG#mF# And everyone around you turns to silence
BA#mG#mF#C# Another plea to keep the repo man from dialing your name
A#mBC# Again and again

[Verse 2] 
D#mG#mC#F# F#/F You think of all the gifts that you would give her
D#mG#mC# Trying to make her stay, oh
D#mG#mC#F# F#/F And you remember all the love she carried with her
D#mG#mC# Like a bitter cheap champaign
BA#mG#mF# Now that's history, you've drawn the queen of diamonds
BA#mG#mF# It'll be limousines and caribbean islands
BA#mG#mF# You can't wait to see her standing there just smiling

GD/F# While the bar ladys, they work for their commission
FA/EDE But it doesn't stop a sucker like you wishing, and away
DC#mBmA Oh, how can it be you draw the queen of diamonds
DC#mBmA It was limousines and caribbean islands
DC#mBmAE What you didn't see is the dealer, he was hiding an ace
