Queen Of Diamonds

Tom Odell

Intro Verso 1: The casino floor is full of men so frightened Trying to make good pay To win or lose We know just how our night ends Gonna throw it all away Oh, but suddenly you draw the queen of diamonds And everyone around you turns to silence Another plea to keep the repo man from dialing your name Again and again ( ) Verso 2: You think of all the gifts that you would give her Trying to make her stay, oh And you remember all the love she carried with her Like a bitter cheap champaign Now that's history, you've drawn the queen of diamonds It'll be limousines and caribbean islands You can't wait to see her standing there just smiling For a change, change, for a change What a fools game, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh Ponte: Those whiskey drinks, they give you your ambition While the bar ladys, they work for their commission But it doesn't stop a sucker like you wishing, and away Oh, how can it be you draw the queen of diamonds It was limousines and caribbean islands What you didn't see is the dealer, he was hiding an ace An ace, what an ace What a cruel, cruel game, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh
