[VERSE 1]
Am               Em7          Dsus2/F     Esus4   E7
  He deals the cards,    as a meditation,
Am#5           Em7             Dsus2/F    Esus4   E7
  and those he plays, never suspect,
Fmaj7                            Csus2 C5        E7
    he doesnt play,      for the mo  - ney he wins,
Fmaj7/C       Dsus2/B          Am
    he doesnt play    for   respect.
 
[VERSE 2]
Am               Em7             Dsus2/F   Esus4  E7
  He deals the cards to find the answer,
Am#5             Em7           Dsus2/F    Esus4   E7
    the sacred geometry of chance,
Fmaj7                        Csus2  C5    E7
    the hidden law,       of a pro -  bable outcome,
Fmaj7/C         Dsus2/B      Am
    the numbers lead   a   dance.
 
 
[CHORUS 1]
Am                 Em7                 Dsus2/F      Esus4 E7
   I know that the spades,    are the swords of a soldier,
Am#5                Em7                  Dsus2/F    Esus4 E7
   I know that the clubs are weapons of war,
Fmaj7                             Csus2 C5            E7
   I know that diamonds,     mean mo -  ney for this art,
       Fmaj7/C       Dsus2/B      Am
   but thats not the shape of my heart.
 
 
[VERSE 3]
Am             Em7              Dsus2/F   Esus4  E7
   And he may play the jack of diamonds,
Am#5        Em7              Dsus2/F   Esus4   E7
   he may lay the queen of spades,
Fmaj7                   Csus2  C5     E7
   he may conceal,    a king   in his hand,
Fmaj7/C       Dsus2/B        Am
    while a memory of it fades.
 
 
[CHORUS 2]
Am                 Em7                Dsus2/F       Esus4   E7
   I know that the spades,    are the swords of a soldier,
Am#5               Em7                  Dsus2/F     Esus4   E7
   I know that the clubs are weapons of war,
Fmaj7                          Csus2 C5            E7
   I know that diamonds,  mean mo -  ney for this art,
       Fmaj7/C       Dsus2/B       Am        Am7
   but thats not the shape   of my heart,
    Fmaj7/C       Dsus2/B                Em7
   thats not the shape              of my heart

[VERSE 4]
Am           Em7              Dsus2/F  Esus4  E7
   And if I told you that I loved you,
Am#5           Em7                    Dsus2/F  Esus4  E7
   you'd maybe think theres something wrong,
Fmaj7                   Csus2 C5    E7
   I'm not a man,    of too   many faces,
Fmaj7/C       Dsus2/B     Am
   the mask I wear   is    one.
Am                    Em7         Dsus2/F  Esus4  E7
   But those who speak know nothing,
Am#5   Em7                Dsus2/F  Esus4  E7
   and find out to their cost,
Fmaj7                                  Csus2 C5   E7
   and those who curse their luck, in  too  many places,
Fmaj7/C          Dsus2/B   Am
   are those who fear  are  lost.
