 A minorAm
Picture me counting cards, dear

Pick any kind you like
 G+G
Picture them colored red, dear

Black will hold back the light
      FF
From the stars in our eyes are just diamonds, broke
 A minorAm
Jokes we tell to laugh, dear

Laugh to hold back the pain
  G+G
Pain is in the mind, dear

Stars are much the same
 FF
Gone in the time it takes the light to reach
  DmDm
In time you'll find
    G+G      FF         A minorAm
We're blind to the things we don't believe

Verse 2:
  A minorAm
Picture us out in Vegas counting bills before the show
  G+G
Spendin' em from New Orleans where we spent the week before
     FF
And the stars in our eyes are the lights from the flash
  A minorAm
Pictures of us in black, dear
  G+G
Rolling on the red carpets laid on concrete

Counting billboards where we read
      FF
That the stars of our minds shine bright in the dark
    DmDm     G+G
Like diamonds, diamonds


Pre-Chorus:
   A minorAm             G+G
And hearts in our cards and our silver strung guitars
   FF
Say hear me when I call
 DmDm           A minorAm
Hear me when I come in late

You're wide awake
    G+G      FF
"I'm sorry" is not enough
          DmDm
I'm sorry I'm not enough to stay

Chorus:
  A minorAm  G+G
Faded by

In time with the back of your bed
 FF         DmDm
A minorAm I that levy you take, that levy you hold
  FF      G+G
Faded by in time

With the back of your bed
 FF          DmDm
A minorAm I that levy you break, that levy you hold


Bridge:
   A minorAm
Paint me red, paint me red

Picture that, picture that
G+G
Picture us and God shaking hands just because we can
   FF
Like DMC we run this shit, Run DMC

What's tricky to get we got
 Dm*
Watch me murder this
  Dm*
Watch me murder this


Bridge:
A minorAm G+G FF DmDm  2x


Verse 3:
  A minorAm
Planes fly due west, and
  G+G           FF             DmDm
Plain in my view is the blame for the fault in our stars
            A minorAm
Counting cards in the dark
          G+G
We sit and talk, bleeding it out
            FF        DmDm
Believing that all our cries are just diamonds


Pre-Chorus:
  A minorAm             G+G
Hearts in our cards and our silver strung guitars
   FF
Say hear me when I call
 DmDm           A minorAm
Hear me when I come in late
        G+G
You're wide awake
           FF
"I'm sorry" is not enough
          DmDm
I'm sorry I'm not enough to stay


Chorus:
 A minorAm   G+G
Faded by in time

With the back of your bed
  FF        DmDm
A minorAm I that levy you take, that levy you hold
  A minorAm     G+G
Faded by in time

With the back of your bed
 FF          DmDm
Aam I that levy you break, that levy you hold
 A minorAm    G+G
Faded by in time

With the back of your bed
 FF          DmDm
A minorAm I that levy you take, that levy you hold

  A minorAm
Picture me counting cards, dear, picture me counting cards
