(Verse 1)
I've (Am)always been a gambler since the day I learned to crawl
(Am)Ain't afraid to bet on myself, ain't a-(C)fraid to risk it (Am)all
I've (Am)learned some hardy wisdom, had to dig out of a ditch
Ain't the (Am)money in one's pocket that (C)makes a man so (Am)rich

(Chorus)
(Am)Some draw diamonds, (Em)some draw hearts
(D)Some draw aces right (Am)from the start
(Am)Some have bad luck that (Em)follows a man
But I (D)make my own luck and (Am)play my hand
(G)I wouldn't trade with (D/F#)anyone else
Just (F)live this life with the (D)cards I've been (Am) dealt
The (D)cards (Am)I've been (C) dealt (D)

(Verse 2)
(Am)Love's always a wildcard, a joker in the night
Yeah, the (Am)queen's a quiet killer
If you (C)don't (D)play her (Am)right
And I (C)didn't (D)play her (Am)right

(Chorus)
(Am)Some draw diamonds, (Em)some draw hearts
(D)Some draw aces right (Am)from the start
(Am)Some have bad luck that (Em)follows a man
But I (D)make my own luck and (Am)play my hand
(G)I wouldn't trade with (D/F#)anyone else
Just (F)live this life with the (D)cards I've been (Am) dealt

(Out-Chorus)
(Am)Some draw diamonds, (Em)some draw hearts

(Am)Some have bad luck that (Em)follows a man
But I (D)make my own luck and (Am)play my hand
(G)I wouldn't trade with (D/F#)anyone else
