[Verse 1]
  Am
Picture me counting cards, dear
Pick any kind you like Picture them colored red, dear Black will hold back the light
           G                         F
From the stars in our eyes are just diamonds, broke

 Am
Jokes we tell to laugh, dear
Laugh to hold back the pain
   G
Pain is in the mind, dear
Stars are much the same
 F
Gone in the time it takes the light to reach

    Dm
In time you'll find

        G           F                  Am
We're blind to the things we don't believe
[Verse 2]
    Am
Picture us out in Vegas counting bills before the show

    G
Spendin' em from New Orleans where we spent the week before

          F
And the stars in our eyes are the lights from the flash

    Am
Pictures of us in black, dear
Rolling on the red
G
carpets laid on concrete
Counting billboards where we read
           F
That the stars of our minds shine bright in the dark

      Dm        G
Like diamonds, diamonds
[Pre-Chorus]
     Am                          G
And hearts in our cards and our silver strung guitars

      F
Say hear me when I call

  Dm                     Am
Hear me when I come in late
You're wide awake
       G            F
"I'm sorry" is not enough

                    Dm
I'm sorry I'm not enough to stay
[Chorus]
   Am    G
Faded by
In time with the back of your bed
  F                 Dm
Am I that levy you keep, that levy you hold

    F           G
Faded by in time
With the back of your bed
  F                   Dm
Am I that levy you break, that levy you hold
[Bridge]
      Am
Paint me red, paint me red
Picture that, picture that
G
Picture us and God shaking hands just because we can

      F
Like DMC we run this shit, Run DMC
What's tricky to get we got
  Dm*
Watch me murder this

    Dm*
Watch me murder this
[Bridge] Am G F Dm x2 [Verse 3]
   Am
Planes fly due west, and

   G                      F                          Dm
Plain in my view is the blame for the fault in our stars

                        Am
Counting cards in the dark

                    G
We sit and talk, bleeding it out

                        F                    Dm
Believing that all our cries are just diamonds
[Pre-Chorus]
   Am                         G
Hearts in our cards and our silver strung guitars

     F
Say hear me when I call

  Dm                      Am
Hear me when I come in late

                G
You're wide awake

                      F
"I'm sorry" is not enough

                    Dm
I'm sorry I'm not enough to stay
[Chorus]
 Am      G
Faded by in time
With the back of your bed
    F               Dm
Am I that levy you keep, that levy you hold

   Am         G
Faded by in time
With the back of your bed
  F                  Dm
Am I that levy you break, that levy you hold

  Am       G
Faded by in time
With the back of your bed
  F                 Dm
Am I that levy you keep, that levy you hold
[Outro]
    Am
Picture me counting cards, dear, picture me counting cards
