E             G#m                  A B
Could this be true, could this be me
E            G#m             A           B
The one who kept himself so high and free
C#m                  G#m
Caught up in the highest game of all
C#m                  A
And all my defenses tumble and fall
F#m              B               E
Only the ace of hearts can save now

I wake in early hours and I call your name
And it's your face I see pressed up against
my window pane
And suddenly I realise
As the tears start to flow like rain from the sky
Only the ace of hearts can save my now

Chorus:
 D                                 E
Ace of hearts tell me what's this game we're playing
 D                              E
Ace of hearts it's all down to you
D
I'm lost, lost like a child in a strange dream
B
Open your doors and pull me, pull me,
           E
pull me through

And I am flying like the wind in the dead of night
I flying so high, searching for them landing lights
I've never been this way before
But darling all I need your love more and more
Only the ace of hearts can save me now
I said only the ace of hearts can save me now
I said only the ace of hearts can save me now

(ooo, ace of hearts)
(ooo, ace of hearts)
Only the ace of hearts
(ooo, ace of hearts)
Can save me now
(ooo, ace of hearts)
Only the ace hearts
(ooo, ace of hearts)
(ooo, ace of hearts)
Only the ace of hearts can save me now
(ooo, ace of hearts)
