You've got to have an ace in the hole, a little secret that nobody knows. 
C                   G           E7    
Life is a Gamble, a game we all play, 
         A7                          D7

If your not sure it's the way you want to go.

In money or love or all the above, have a little more than what you show. 
     G                          C                            G   
When life deals out a surprise. Have a few surprises of your own.

You've got to have an ace in the hole.
