(No Chord)        D
From a jack to a king
                     A       A7
From lonliness to a wedding ring

I played an ace and I won a queen
                           D
And walked away with your heart


From a jack to a king
                              A          A7
With no regret I stacked the cards last night

And lady luck played her hand just right
                          D-G-D
And made me king of your heart

            G
For just a little while 
                        D
I thought that I might lose the game
              E
Then just in time I saw 
     E7              A-A7
The twinkle in your eye

(No Chord)        D
From a jack to a king
                     A       A7
From lonliness to a wedding ring

I played an ace and I won a queen
                           D-G-D
That made me king of your heart
