Lyrics by Sting and Music by Sting, Dominic Miller


Intro:
  F#m C#m | Bm Bm C#7 C#7
  D C#m | Bm Bm C#7 C#7

  Bm7 | A C#
  D C#7 | F#m

F#m           C#m
 He deals the cards
      Bm         C#7
 As a meditation,
D             C#m
 And those he plays
         Bm    C#7
 Never suspect.
Bm7                      A        C#
 He doesn’t play for the money he wins,
D         C#7         F#m
 He don’t play for respect.

F#m           C#m
 He deals the cards
             Bm     C#7
 To find the answer,
D           C#m
 The sacred geometry
      Bm   C#7
 Of chance,
Bm7                  A           C#
 The hidden law of a probable outcome,
D            C#7         F#m
 The numbers lead a dance.

Chorus:
   F#m               C#m
     I know that the spades
             Bm           C#7
     Are the swords of a soldier.
   D                 C#m
     I know that the clubs
                    Bm  C#7
     Are weapons of war.
  Bm7
     I know that diamonds
          A              C#
     Mean money for this art,
         D
     But that’s not
         C#7         F#m
     The shape of my heart.

F#m     C#m
 He may play
             Bm       C#7
 The jack of diamonds,
D       C#m
 He may lay
              Bm     C#7
 The queen of spades,
Bm7               A           C#
 He may conceal a king in his hand,
D              C#7         F#m
 While the memory of it fades.

Chorus:
   F#m               C#m
     I know that the spades
             Bm           C#7
     Are the swords of a soldier.
   D                 C#m
     I know that the clubs
                    Bm  C#7
     Are weapons of war.
  Bm7
     I know that diamonds
          A              C#
     Mean money for this art,
         D
     But that’s not
         C#7         F#m  F#m7
     The shape of my heart,
     D              C#7
     That’s not the shape,
                     C#m
     The shape of my heart.

Instrumental:
  C#m G#m | F#m F#m G#7 G#7
  A G#m | F#m F#m G#7 G#7

  F#m7 | E G#
  A G#7 | C#m C#m7
  A G#7 | A

F#m       C#m
 And if I told her
              Bm  C#7
 That I loved you,
D            C#m
 You’d maybe think
                     Bm  C#7
 There’s something wrong.
Bm7               A          C#
 I’m not a man of too many faces,
D         C#7         F#m
 The mask I wear is one.

F#m  C#m
 But those who speak
        Bm    C#7
 Know nothing,
D    C#m               Bm  C#7
 And find out to their cost
Bm7
 Like those who curse their luck
    A          C#
 In too many places,
D          C#7             F#m
 And those who fear are lost.

Chorus:
   F#m               C#m
     I know that the spades
             Bm           C#7
     Are the swords of a soldier.
   D                 C#m
     I know that the clubs
                    Bm  C#7
     Are weapons of war.
  Bm7
     I know that diamonds
          A              C#
     Mean money for this art,
         D
     But that’s not
         C#7         F#m  F#m7
     The shape of my heart,
     D
     That’s not
         C#7         F#m  F#m7
     The shape of my heart,
     D              C#7
     That’s not the shape,
                     F#m
     The shape of my heart.

Instrumental:
  F#m C#m | Bm Bm C#7 C#7
  D C#m | Bm Bm C#7 C#7
  F#m
