-- Verse

E- He deals the B-7 cards, as a medi A-/C tation, Bsus4 B7

E- and those he B-7 plays, never sus A-/C pect, Bsus4 B7

C^ he doesn't play, for the mo G ney he B7 wins,

C^ he doesn't B play for res E- pect.

-- Verse

He deals the cards to find the answer,

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.

-- Verse

And 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
            
                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,
                
                that's not the shape of my heart

-- Verse

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.

-- Verse

But those who speak know nothing,

and find out to their cost,

like those who curse their luck, in too many places,

are those who fear are lost.

-- 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,
                
                that's not the shape of my heart
