[Intro 1]
[F#m][B][F#m]
[B][F#m][B][F#m]
[B][F#m][B][F#m]
[B][F#m][C][B][F#m]
[Em]
[F#m][Em][F#m]
[B][Em][F#m][Em]
I [F#m]got

[Verse 1]
[B]an ace up my [Em]sleeve
And I [F#m]deal from the b[Em]ottom like
Frankie
Four
Fingers with a [F#m]gambling problem
I'm a [C]jack of all [B]trades, [F#m]master of none I gotta [C]get the [B]girl,
grab the [F#m]money and run
The [B]parlor trick, [Em]corn artist,
[F#m]back alley s[Em]tick -up I'll turn the poker table into a 52 pick -[F#m]up
Everything [B]turns [Em]green,
the slot [F#m]machines are [Em]lit up
When I'm walking by like
Billie
Jean or
[F#m]Jimmy the
Jim
Getting [C]lucky like
[Em]Bugsy, get the big money
This ain't a game of
P -Knuckle,
Richard,
Gin,
[F#m]Rummy
I [B]can't stop, [Em]I'm energized like [F#m]that pink b[Em]unny I
make myself scarce when things get ugly
Daddy needs a new pair of gators
And lately I thought about the odds
of stealing candy from a baby
Life's a gamble,
there's a vig on late payments
But what happens in
Vegas, [F#m]stays in
Vegas
The [C]greatest show on [Em]earth ain't
[F#m]Cirque du
Soleil
It's the [B]big shots,
people with the [F#m]high rollers playin'
If I [B]went back tomorrow,
everything [F#m]I lost today
It's time to [B]double down,
and let the [F#m]chips fall where they may
Shake [B]em [Em]up, l[F#m]et em [Em]roll
Shake em up, [F#m]let em roll
Shake [C]em up[Em], let em roll
Shake em up, [F#m]let em ro[A]ll
[Em]Left in the corners of my cards
as the devil deals
To reveal the secrets hidden
[F#m]within the seven seals
Lady
[B]Luck is [Em]a showgir[F#m]l in stiletto heels
Her [Em]promises are like her double
D's, nev[F#m]er real
[B]But her [Em]sense of appeal [F#m]makes me
want to [Em]spin the wheel
[B]When I should have [Em]solved the puzzle,
[F#m]now I'm on banana peels
[B]Trying to do the jitterbug
[F#m]on the tightrope
[Em]It's a showd[B]own on 6th s[Em]treet, my
[F#m]mind's in a different time zone
[B]Suffering [Em]from sleep deprivation
Is the joker laughing at my
bluff or [F#m]am I hallucina[A]ting?
[C]Strange things hap[B]pen when they
[F#m]nev er turn their li[Em]ghts out
[B]I forget if I'm playing
Texas
[F#m]Hold 'em or
Pi
Gow
[B]5 to 1[Em], baby, 1 in 5,
I heard that no one here gets [F#m]out alive
Or at [B]least without their kneecaps,
[F#m]bass, my baseball bats
[B]Graded to the max and hella [F#m]plastic on the rack,
too late [B]to pass
[Em]So I'm sweatin' hollow tips,
up the ante like
Marshall
Roulette
With [F#m]gunpowder on my breath
[B]I'm a [Em]few bullets [F#m]short of a full [Em]clip
But livin' on the edge gives
me a [F#m]sense of depth
I [B]step to the [Em]table like
[F#m]Amarillo
[Em]Slim
I'm another fuckin' angel in the [F#m]city of sin
No [B]wash, no [Em]push, just a loss or a win
I'll get the fuck outta dodge
just to save my own skin
Shake em up, let em roll
I [C]made it to the [Em]top,
then they pulled out the tablecloth
Underneath this house,
the cards and I [F#m]dropped
[Em]Why did I build my castle on a landfill?
[B]Buried beneath [Em]an aval[F#m]anche,
yellin' jackpot
[Em]Flashin' my wand from the
tracks of the flat tops
Backlot, crap shots, [F#m]my hands in the cash box
I [B]crash bots,
[Em]rock the cas[F#m]bah and won't back off
I can [Em]send medicine in a
Mexican stan[F#m]doff
From
[Em]Minnesota fast, went from flop to flush
I got the touch of gold,
whether it's [F#m]straw or stud
Impressing my [B]luck, no whammies,
[F#m]no whammies, no whammies, stop
[C]On the
Vegas [B]strip,
I'm like a [F#m]kid in a candy shop
[B]Lost in the shuffle of double
[F#m]-crossers and
Shylocks
[B]I'm like it hot,
getting [F#m]popped by the vice squad
I'm [B]chopped in the icebox,
[F#m]pushing the limit[Em]s
I heard a sucker's born every minute
[F#m]Tryna hit the parlay[C],
[Em]rags to riches for the hard way
The
Hong
Kong hustle, silver [F#m]lin ing in the arcade
Sin
[Em]City, the boys are back in town like
Finn
Lizzy
And we ain't pitchin' pennies, we
rollin' till we [F#m]sittin' pretty
Shake [C]em [Em]up ,[F#m][B][Em]
[F#m]let em[B] ro[Em]ll[A][Em]
[Em]
You
