KING OF HEARTS
Paul Stanley, Vini Poncia

[Rhy. Fig 2]
[Rhy. Fig 3]
[Rhy. Fig 2]
[Rhy. Fig 4]
[Rhy. Fig 5]
[Rhy. Fig 6]
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
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 7]
When she tells me I want it, I go crazy, I need it
When she touches I feel it, right there in her eyes
[Rhy. Fig 8 w/ Rhy. Fig 10]
I'm the King of Hearts, livin' in a fantasy
The King of Hearts, when she's layin' next to me
[Rhy. Fig 9 w/ Rhy. Fig 11]
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 12]
[Rhy. Fig 6]
Like a neon light, the shadows flash across my empty room
We could leave tonight and save ourselves from a bad scene
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 7]
When she tells me I want it, I go crazy, I need it
When she touches I feel it, right there in her eyes
[Rhy. Fig 8 w/ Rhy. Fig 10]
I'm the King of Hearts, livin' in a fantasy
The King of Hearts, when she's layin' next to me
[Rhy. Fig 9 w/ Rhy. Fig 11]
Shinin' like a jewel tonight, love is gonna rule tonight
Yeah I'm gonna be the only one, to be King of Hearts
[Solo over Rhy. Fig 13]
[Rhy. Fig 7 w/ Riff 1]
When she tells me I want it, I go crazy, I need it
When she touches I feel it, right there in her eyes

[Rhy. Fig 2]
[Rhy. Fig 10]
[Rhy. Fig 2 w/ Riff 2]
[Rhy. Fig 8 w/ Rhy. Fig 10]
I'm the King of Hearts, livin' in a fantasy
The King of Hearts, when she's layin' next to me
[Rhy. Fig 8 w/ Rhy. Fig 10 and Riff 3]
I'm the King of Hearts, livin' in a fantasy
The King of Hearts, when she's layin' next to me
