Shape Of My Heart

Sting

Text File


Em           Bm         Am        B7
He deals the cards as a meditation
C            Bm         Am         B7
And those he plays never suspect
C          C            G        B7
He doesn't play for the money he wins
C          B7       Em
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

I know that the spades are 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

He may play the jack of diamonds
He may lay the queen of spades
He may conceal a king in his hand
While the memory of it fades

I know that the spades are 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

C              B7                       Em
That's not the shape    The shape of my heart

Now there's a change in key, which goes something like:

Solo
----

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

Those who speak know nothing

And find out to their cost
Like those who curse their luck in too many places
And those who smile are lost

I know that the spades are 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

C               B7         Em
That's not the shape of my heart
C              B7                      Em
That's not the shape   The shape of my heart
