Em Em C D x 4
I wanna hold em' like they do in Texas plays,
Fold em' let em' hit me, raise it, baby stay with me,
Luck and intuition play the cards with spades to start,
And after he's been hooked I'll play the one that's on his heart
Em C G D x 2
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh, ohh-oh-e-ohh-oh-oh
I'll get him hot, show him what I've got
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh, ohh-oh-e-ohh-oh-oh
I'll get him hot, show him what I've got
Em C G D x 2
Can't read my, can't read my
No he can't read my poker face
(She gotta love nobody)
Can't read my, can't read my
No he can't read my poker face
(She gotta love nobody)
Em Em C D x 2
P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
(Mum mum mum mah)
P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
(Mum mum mum mah)

A little gambling is fun when you're with me
Russian Roulette is not the same without a gun
And baby when it's love, if its not rough it isn't fun

I won't tell you that I love you
Kiss or hug you
Cause I'm bluffin' with my muffin

Take your bank before I pay you out

Check this hand 'cause I'm marvelous
