KING OF HEARTS
Paul Stanley, Vini Poncia
[Intro: Guitar only]
[Rhy. Fig 1a]
[Rhy. Fig 2]
[Rhy. Fig 3 w/ End 1]
She was just 19, but in here eyes she was old enough to know
We were caught between two city streets, like a bad dream
[Rhy. Fig 4a]
We could barely survive in the world outside, where the writin's on the wall
Still she lets me know, we just can't let go, and she takes my heart away
[Rhy. Fig 5 w/ End 1]
When she tells me I want it, I go crazy, I need it
[Rhy. Fig 5 w/ End 2]
When she touches I feel it, right there in her eyes
[Rhy. Fig 6 w/ End 1] (2x)
I'm the King of Hearts, livin' in a fantasy
The King of Hearts, when she's layin' next to me
[Rhy. Fig 7 w/ End 1]
Shinin' like a jewel tonight, love is gonna rule tonight
Yeah I'm gonna be the only one, to be King of Hearts
[Rhy. Fig 8]
[Rhy. Fig 2 w/ End 2]
Like a neon light, the shadows flash across my empty room
We could leave tonight and save ourselves from a bad scene
[Rhy. Fig 4b]
When we walk on by with our heads up high, all the faces turn our way
Yeah it's in their eyes, and they realize, we can make our getaway
[Rhy. Fig 5 w/ End 1]
When she tells me I want it, I go crazy, I need it
[Rhy. Fig 5 w/ End 3]
When she touches I feel it, right there in her eyes
[Rhy. Fig 6 w/ End 1] (2x)
I'm the King of Hearts, livin' in a fantasy
The King of Hearts, when she's layin' next to me
[Rhy. Fig 7 w/ End 2]
Shinin' like a jewel tonight, love is gonna rule tonight
Yeah I'm gonna be the only one, to be King of Hearts
[Rhy. Fig 9]
[Rhy. Fig 5 w/ End 1]
When she tells me I want it, I go crazy, I need it
[Rhy. Fig 5 w/ End 3]
When she touches I feel it, right there in her eyes
[Guitar only]
[Rhy. Fig 1b]
[Rhy. Fig 6 w/ End 1]
I'm the King of Hearts, livin' in a fantasy
The King of Hearts, when she's layin' next to me
[Rhy. Fig 6 w/ End 2]
I'm the King of Hearts, livin' in a fantasy
[Rhy. Fig 6 w/ End 3]
The King of Hearts, when she's layin' next to me
(fade out)
