Em           Em9        Am7       B7
He deals the cards as a meditation

Em           Em9         Am7    B7
And those he plays never suspect

C                       G        B7
He doesn't play for the money he wins

C        F#m11       Em
He don't play for respect
[Verse 2]
Em           Em9               Am7   B7
He deals the cards to find the answer

Em         Em9         Am7       B7
The sacred geometry of chance

C                   G        B7
The hidden law of a probable outcome

C           F#m11       Em
The numbers lead a dance
[Chorus]
Em              Em9            Am7         B7
I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier

Em7         Em9              Am7     B7
I know that the clubs are weapons of war

C                         G              B7
I know that diamonds mean money for this art

    C              F#m11       Em
But that's not the shape of my heart
[Verse 3]
Em     Em9              Am7     B7
He may play the jack of diamonds

Em     Em9              Am7   B7
He may lay the queen of spades

C                G           B7
He may conceal a king in his hand

C         F#m11             Em
While the memory of it fades
[Chorus]
Em              Em9            Am7         B7
I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier

Em7         Em9              Am7     B7
I know that the clubs are weapons of war

C                         G              B7
I know that diamonds mean money for this art

    C              F#m11       Em
But that's not the shape of my heart

C              F#m11
That's not the shape

                Bm
The shape of my heart
[Instrumental] Bm A6add9 Em F#7 Bm A6add9 Em F#7 G D F#7 Gmaj7 C#m7 Bm Bm7 Gmaj7 C#m7 Gmaj7 [Verse 4]
Em        Em9              Am7 B7
If I told her that I loved you

Em          Em9                     Am7  B7
You'd maybe think there's something wrong

C                G        B7
I'm not a man of too many faces

C        F#m11        Em
The mask I wear is one
[Verse 5]
Em        Em9            Am7    B7
But those who speak know nothing

Em       Em9          Am7  B7
And find out to their cost

C                          G                B7
Like those who curse their luck in too many places

C             F#m11        Em
And those who fear are lost
[Chorus]
Em              Em9            Am7         B7
I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier

Em7         Em9              Am7     B7
I know that the clubs are weapons of war

C                         G              B7
I know that diamonds mean money for this art

    C              F#m11       Em
But that's not the shape of my heart

C              F#m11       Em    Em9
That's not the shape of my heart

C              F#m11
That's not the shape

                Em   Em9   Am7   B7
The shape of my heart
