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.

  C
I found I couldn't sleep at night..

I found a lover..became a joker.

The joker went wild...and he couldn't smile..

beause he had lost everything.

He felt no longer like a king.

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.
