He [C#m] deals the cards [Bm] as a meditation, [C#]
[D] [C#m] and those he plays he never [Bm] suspect.
[C#]
[D] He doesn't play [A] for the money [C#] he wins, [D] he [F#m] doesn't play for respect.
He [C#m] deals the cards to [Bm] find the answer, [C#]
[D] [C#m] the sacred geometry [Bm] of chance,
[C#] the [Bm] hidden [D] law [A] of a probable [C#] outcome, [D] [F#m] the numbers lead a dance.
I know [E] that the spades [Bm] are the swords of [C#] a soldier,
[D] I know [C#m] that the clubs the [Bm] weapons of war,
[C#]
[Bm] I know that diamonds [A] mean money for [C#] this art,
[D] but that's not [F#] the shape of [F#m] my heart.
[C#m] He may play the [Bm] jack of diamonds, [C#]
[D] [C#m] he may lay the [Bm] queen of spades,
[C#]
[D] he may conceive [A] a king in [C#] his hand, [D] [F#m] while a memory of it fades.
I know [E] that the spades [Bm] are the swords of [C#] a soldier,

[F#m] [C#m] And if I told you that I [Bm] loved you, [F] [D] [C#m] you'd maybe think there's something [Bm] wrong.
[C#] [D] I'm not a man, [A] with too many [C#] faces,
[D] [F#m] a mask I wear is one for [E] those who speak [Bm] no nothing,
[F#] [C#] [D] [C#m] and find out [Bm] to their cost, [C#] [Bm] like wolves who curse their love.
[A] In too [C#] many places, [D] [G#] for those who fear a [F#m] loss.
I know [E] that the spades [Bm] are the swords of [F#] a [C#] soldier,
