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] DM7 G#m7 G#m7 G#m7 - G#m7
That's not the shape - … - Shape of my heart

AM7 AM7 E7 G#7 - (AM7 G#7 C#m C#m x2)
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] - F#m
