        Am/G            F
Fingers tremble and the memory fades
           C          G           
And it's a foolish man who tries

The Joker has laughed, Lady Luck

              Am/G         F
The Aces were high and the Deuces 
were wild
            C               
When you're down and losin', 
G             F        C
everyone's a cheater


[Chorus]
F                          G     
Got a little more than you 
         C
bargained for
                                   F
A little more than you had in mind
                          G
They called your bluff and 
twenty-one

Life's a lot like that, my friend
Am

          Am/G     F              
Luck runs out, the winning streak 
      C
ends
                         G         
When the deck is stacked, you can't

 bluff the dealer

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


[Chorus]
F                     G          
You can't win and you can't break

                               F
You can't get out of the game
                        G
You shouldn't stay, but you ain't 
leavin'
           Am                  G
'Cause your luck could change again


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