VERSE 1/2
B7
  He deals the cards,    in a meditation,
B7
  and those who play,   never suspect,
B7
    he doesnt play,      for the mo  - ney he wins,
Em
    he doesnt play    for   respect.
B7
  He deals the cards looking for answers,
B7
    the sacred geometry of chance,
B7
    a hidden law,       of a pro -  bable outcome,
Em
    the numbers lead   a   dance.

CHORUS 1
B7
   I know that the spades,    are the swords of a soldier,
B7
   I know that the clubs are weapons of war,
B7
   I know that diamonds,      are mo -  ney for this art,
       Em
   but thats not the shape of my heart.

VERSE 3
B7
   And he may play the jack of diamonds,
B7
   he may lay the queen of spades,
B7
   he may conceal,    a king   in his hand,
Em
    while the memory of it fades.

CHORUS 2
B7
   I know that the spades,    are the swords of a soldier,
B7
   I know that the clubs are weapons of war,
B7
   I know that diamonds,   are mo -  ney for this art,
       Em7
   but thats not the shape   of my heart,
    Cmaj7         Esus2sus4               (Middle 8 start)
   thats not the shape              of my (heart

MIDDLE 8 (HARMONICA SOLO)
Bm7 / / A/Bm7 / / G / / Em7 / F#7 / Bm7 / / A/Bm7 / / G / / Em7 / F#7 /
G / / / / D / F#7 / G / C#/Em / Bm7 / / A/Bm7 / / G / / F#7 / / G / / / /

VERSE 4
B7
   And if I told you that I loved you,
B7
   you maybe think theres something wrong,
B7
   I'm not a man,    of two   many faces,
Em
   the mask I wear   has   won.
B7
   And all those that speak know nothing,
B7
   and they'll find out to their cost,
B&
   and those that curse their luck, in  too  many places,
Em
   are those that fear  are  lost.

CHORUS 2 REPEAT CHORDS AS NORMAL BUT HOLD ON Esus2sus4 LEAD INTO:
     INTRO / OUTRO - SIMPLY FOLLOW ALL TABBED CHORDS AT START
