Shape of my heart
Sting
Ten Summoner's Tales 1993


F♯m 
He deals the
E6 
cards as a
D6 
meditation
C♯7sus4 
C♯7 
 
And
F♯m#5 
those he
E6 
plays never
D6 
suspect
C♯7sus4 
C♯7 
D6 
He doesn't play for the
A 
money he
C♯ 
wins
D 
He don't
G♯m11 
play for re
F♯m 
spect

F♯m 
He deals the
E6 
cards to find the
D6 
answer
C♯7sus4 
C♯7 
F♯m#5 
The sacred ge
E6 
ometry of
D6 
chance
C♯7sus4 
C♯7 
D6 
The hidden law of a
A 
probable
C♯ 
outcome
D 
The numbers
G♯11 
lead a
F♯m 
dance

F♯m 
I know that the
E6 
spades are the
D6 
swords of a
C♯7sus4 
soldier
C♯7 
F♯m#5 
I know that the
E6 
clubs are weapons of
D6 
war
C♯7sus4 
C♯7 
D6 
I know that diamonds mean
A 
money for this
C♯ 
art
 
But
D 
that's not the
G♯m11 
shape of my
F♯m 
heart

F♯m 
He may
E6 
play the Jack of
D6 
diamonds
C♯7sus4 
C♯7 
F♯m#5 
He may
E6 
lay the Queen of
D6 
spades
C♯7sus4 
C♯7 
D6 
He may conceal a
A 
King in his
C♯ 
hand
D 
While the
G♯m11 
memory of it
F♯m 
fades

F♯m 
I know that the
E6 
spades are the
D6 
swords of a
C♯7sus4 
soldier
C♯7 
...


F♯m 
And if I
E6 
told you that I
D6 
loved you
C♯7sus4 
C♯7 
F♯m#5 
You'd maybe
E6 
think there's something
D6 
wrong
C♯7sus4 
C♯7 
D6 
I'm not a man of
A 
too many
C♯ 
faces
D 
The
G♯m11 
mask I wear is
F♯m 
one

F♯m 
But
E6 
those who speak know
D6 
nothing
C♯7sus4 
C♯7 
F♯m#5 
And
E6 
find out to their
D6 
cost
C♯7sus4 
C♯7 
D6 
Like those who curse their luck in
A 
too many
C♯ 
places
D 
And
G♯m11 
those who fear a
F♯m 
loss

F♯m 
I know that the
E6 
spades are the
D6 
swords of a
C♯7sus4 
soldier
C♯7 
...
