There are
 Dm        Am        Bb             Dm
 unsmiling faces and bright plastic chains

      Dm           Am7/D  Dm   Dm/E   Dm/F  Dm/E
And a wheel in per petual motion

         Dm         Am        Bb          Dm
And they follow the races and pay out the gains

                   Am7/D   Dm        Am7/D Dm
With no show of an outward emotion

         A7sus4        A7               Dm
And they think it will make their lives easier

        A7sus4         A7            Gm7
For God knows, up till now it's been hard

        Dm         Am             Cm             Gm
But the game never ends when your whole world de pends

       Dm        Am7/D    Dm   Dm/E   Dm/F  Dm/E
On the turn of a friendly card

        Dm         Am             Cm             Gm
No, the game never ends when your whole world de pends

       Dm        Am7/D    Dm    C   Bbmaj7
On the turn of a friendly ca-ard

          Dm          Am          Bb          Dm
There's a sign in the desert that lies to the west

                         Am7/D          Dm    Dm/E  Dm/F  Dm/E
Where you can't tell the night from the sunrise

        Dm             Am         Bb             Dm
And not all the king's horses and all the king's men

     Dm            Am7/D       Dm     Dm/E Dm/F Dm/E
Have prevented the fall of the unwise

         A7sus4        A7               Dm
Oh, they think it will make their lives easier

        A7sus4         A7            Gm7
And God knows, up till now it's been hard

        Dm         Am             Cm             Gm
But the game never ends when your whole world de pends

On the turn of a friendly ca-ard

        Dm         Am             Cm             Gm
No, the game never ends when your whole world de pends

|Dm Am |Bb Dm |Dm Am7/D |Dm Dm/E Dm/F Dm/E |
      Dm           Am        Bb          Dm
But a pilgrim must follow in search of a shrine

      Dm        Am7/D       Dm     Am7/D  Dm
As he enters in side the ca thedral
