G C G C
Once I was a king...I thought, always a king..
G Em A D
Cause I just captured someone's heart.
G C G C
But may I explain...I treated her mean..
G Em A D
and then my kingdom fell apart.
CHORUS:
C
I found I couldn't sleep at night..
Cm
And when I found her gone from sight..
G
I found a lover..became a joker.
#2.
G C G C
The joker went wild...and he couldn't smile..
G Em A D
beause he had lost everything.
G C G C
The joker went wild...and he couldn't smile.
G Em A D
He felt no longer like a king.

G C G C
Some friendly advice...treat her heart nice..
G Em A D
or she won't stay for very long, if at all.
G C G C
If you think you're a king..and you know everything..
G Em A D
just remember the joker or you'll fall, from her arms.
CHORUS:
C
You'll find you cannot sleep at night..
Cm
And when you find she's gone from sight..
G
You'll find a lover..becomes a joker.
