He deals the cards - As a meditation

And those he plays never suspect - …    ╔══════════╗

He doesn't play - For the money he wins ║ Shape of ║

He doesn't play for respect      - …    ║ My Heart ║

He deals the cards to find the answer - …  Sting   ║

The sacred geometry of chance    - …    ╚══════════╝

The hidden law - Of a probable outcome

The numbers lead a dance

                                            [Chorus]

I know that the spades - Are the swords of a soldier

I know that the clubs are weapons of war - …

I know that diamonds   - Mean money for this art

(But that's not the shape of my heart - … x1)

He may play the jack of diamonds - …

He may lay the queen of spades   - …

He may conceal - A king in his hand

While a memory of it fades

                                            [Chorus]

[Bridge] F#M7 Cm7 Cm7 Cm7 - Cm7

That's not the shape - … - Shape of my heart

And if I told her that I loved you        - …

You'd maybe think there's something wrong - …

I'm not a man - Of too many faces

The mask I wear is one                    - …

But those who speak know nothing          - …

And find out to their cost                - …

Like those who curse their luck - In too many places

For those who feel lost

[Chorus] (x2) [Bridge] [Intro - Part #1] - Bbm
