[Verse 1]
               C#
How was I to know?
               D#m7
It's a crazy thing
                F#    G#
I showed you my ha-and
                     C#
and you still let me win
             C#
Who was I to say that
                  D#m7
this was meant to be?
                  F#
The road that was broken
G#            C#
brought us together

[Chorus]
      A#m7
And I know you could fall
      D#m7
for a thousand kings
    G#
And hearts that could
           C#
give you a diamond ring
     C#/C A#m7
When I   fold,
             D#m7
you see the best in me
     F#   G#        C#
The joker and the queen

I was upside down from
            D#m7
the outside in
                F#   G#
You came to the table and
             C#
you went all in
              A#m7
With a single word and
         D#m
a gentle touch
             F# G#
You turned a mo-ment
        C#
into forever
