[Verse 1]
F#m C#m7 D6
He deals the cards as a meditation
C#7sus4 C#7 D/F# C#m7 D6
And those he plays never suspect
C#7sus4 C#7 C#m7 Asus2 C#7
He doesn’t play for the money he wins
D G#m11 F#m
He don’t play for respect

[Verse 2]
F#m C#m7 D6
He deals the cards to find the answer
C#7sus4 C#7 D/F# C#m7 D6
The sacred geometry of chance
C#7sus4 C#7 D6 Asus2 C#7
The hidden law of a probable outcome
D G#m11 F#m
The numbers lead a dance

[Chorus]
F#m C#m7 D6 C#7sus4 C#7
I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
D/F# C#m7 D6
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
C#7sus4 C#7 D6 Asus2 C#7
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
D G#m11 F#m
But that’s not the shape of my heart

[Verse 3]
F#m C#m7 D6
He may play the Jack of diamonds
C#7sus4 C#7 D/F# C#m7 D6
He may lay the Queen of spades
C#7sus4 C#7 D6 Asus2 C#7
He may conceal a King in his hand
D G#m11 F#m
While the memory of it fades

[Chorus]
F#m C#m7 D6 C#7sus4 C#7
I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
D/F# C#m7 D6
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
C#7sus4 C#7 D6 Asus2 C#7
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
D G#m11 F#m
But that’s not the shape of my heart
F#m7 Dmaj7 G#m11 C#m
That’s not the shape, the shape of my heart

[Verse 4]
F#m C#m7 D6
And if I told you that I loved you
C#7sus4 C#7 D/F# C#m7 D6
You’d maybe think there’s something wrong
C#7sus4 C#7 D6 Asus2 C#7
I’m not a man of too many faces
D G#m11 F#m
The mask I wear is one

[Verse 5]
F#m C#m7 D6
But those who speak know nothing
C#7sus4 C#7 D/F# C#m7 D6
And find out to their cost
C#7sus4 C#7 D6 Asus2 C#7
Like those who curse their luck in too many places
D G#m11 F#m
And those who fear a loss

[Chorus]
F#m C#m7 D6 C#7sus4 C#7
I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
D/F# C#m7 D6
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
C#7sus4 C#7 D6 Asus2 C#7
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
D G#m11 F#m
But that’s not the shape of my heart
F#m7 D G#7sus4 F#m
That’s not the shape of my heart
F#m7 D G#m7b5 F#m
That’s not the shape, the shape of my heart
