F#m           E6         Bm       C#7sus4 C#7
He deals the cards as a meditation
D/F#          E6             Bm C#7sus4 C#7
And those he plays never suspect
D6                       A        C#7
He doesn't play for the money he wins
Dmaj7        G#m       F#m
He doesn't play for respect

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:
F#m               E6             Bm        C#7sus4  C#7
I know that the Spades are the swords of a soldier
D/F#             E6                  Bm C#7sus4 C#7
I know that the Clubs are weapons of war
D6                         A             C#7
I know that Diamonds mean money for this art
    Dmaj7           G#m        F#m
But that's not the shape of my Heart

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

Dmaj7          G#m
That's not the shape, the shape of my
C#m B6 F#m G#7sus4 G#7
Heart

And if I told you 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

But those who speak know nothing
And find out to their cost
Like those who curse their luck in too many places
And those who fear are lost

Chorus

Dmaj7          G#m         F#m  F#m7
That's not the shape of my Heart
Dmaj7          G#m
That's not the shape, the shape of my
F#m  E6 Bm C#7sus4 C#7
Heart
