[Intro] Am Dm Am Dm [Verse 1]
Am
Time slips by in the hourglass

        Dm
You can hear your name

Am
Sand slides through the stranger's hand

                F
As he deals the game
[Verse 2]
        G                   F
All the candles are burning low

        G                   F
No more cradles and no more snow

         G         C     Dm
Bet your life on a lucky roll

          G                C        Dm
Play your queen, you could win your soul

           G              C       F
Stakes are high you could live or die

             G      Am   Dm
To risk everything
[Verse 3]
Am
In your goblet the wine is black

     Dm
As a moonless night

Am
Wet your lips before you kiss

            F
The blazing light
[Verse 4]
         G                   Am
Bets are off but the game is on

F        G                  Am
Drop the armour you counted on

F        G          Am       Dm
All your armies are fled and gone

F        G                       Am
Win your king, you can play your pawn

F         G         Am          Dm
Take your time, you have just begun

             G
To risk everything
[Chorus]
C                     F
Catch your tears in a golden sieve

C                     F
Don't regret what you did to live

C                     F       Am
Don't forget that you must forgive

             G      Am   Dm
To risk everything
[Verse 5]
Am
Through the window you see the storm

        Dm
That is gathering

Am
Painted gypsies on dappled horses

          F
Are galloping
[Verse 6]
            G            Am
Through the trees in the howling wind

F        G            Am
Down the hills to the river bend

F      G               Am       Dm
Shadow ghosts that are blind as night

F         G                  Am
Shrieking curses against the night

F      G           Am         Dm
Daring you to come join their flight

             G
And risk everything
[Chorus]
C                     F
Catch your tears in a golden sieve

Don't forget that you must forgive

             G      Am   Dm
To risk everything
[Verse 7]
Am
There is nothing to hold you now

       Dm
To your fault or mine

Am
Fallen idols and martyred souls

             F
Are the only kind
[Verse 8]
        G           Am
Feet of clay in the emerald skies

F        G             Am
Birds of prey when the dreamer dies

F       G          Am        Dm
Perfect crosses perfect your lies

F       G             Am
Burning saints in the flaming skies

F        G          Am
Bet your life every promise dies

F          G        Am     Dm
All that's left for you to try

                G
Is risking everything
[Chorus]
