Sting – Shape of My Heart
Key: F# Minor BPM: ♩ = 85 Time: 4/4
|F#m   E6    |Bm   -  C#7sus4  C#7  |D/F#    E6            |Bm   -  C#7sus4  C#7  |
|D           |Aadd9   C#7           |D       C#7sus4/G#    |F#m                   |

|F#m            E6        |Bm   -     C#7sus4  C#7  |
   He deals the cards as a medi-tation
|D/F#           E6           |Bm   -  C#7sus4  C#7  |
   And those he plays never suspect
|D                        |Aadd9    C#7  |D          C#7sus4/G#  |F#m  |
   He doesn't play for the money he wins,   he don't play for   respect

|F#m            E6               |Bm    -  C#7sus4  C#7  |
   He deals the cards to find the answer
|D/F#         E6         |Bm    -  C#7sus4  C#7  |
   The sacred geometry of chance
|D                    |Aadd9       C#7  |D             C#7sus4/G#  |F#m  |
   The hidden law of a probable outcome,   the numbers lead a dance

|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
|D                          |Aadd9          C#7     |D              C#7sus4/G#  |F#m  |
   I know that diamonds mean money for this art, but that's not the shape of my  heart

|F#m      E6              |Bm      -  C#7sus4  C#7  |
   He may play the jack of diamonds
|D/F#     E6              |Bm    -  C#7sus4  C#7  |
   He may lay the queen of spades
|D                 |Aadd9       C#7  |D             C#7sus4/G#      |F#m  |
   He may conceal a king in his hand,   while the memory of it fades

|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
|D                          |Aadd9          C#7     |D              C#7sus4/G#  |F#m  F#m/E   |
   I know that diamonds mean money for this art, but that's not the shape of my  heart
|24D              |44C#7sus4/G#  |C#7sus4/G#       |
  That's not the   shape,         the shape of my

|C#m   B6           |F#m  -  G#7sus4  G#7  |A/C#    B6            |F#m  -  G#7sus4  G#7  |
 heart
|A                  |Eadd9   G#7           |A       G#7sus4/D#    |C#m                   |
|A     G#7sus4/D#   |A                     |

|F#m    E6                   |Bm   -  C#7sus4  C#7  |
   If I told her that I loved you
|D/F#          E6                     |Bm   -  C#7sus4  C#7  |
   You'd maybe think there's something wrong
|D                 |Aadd9    C#7  |D          C#7sus4/G#   |F#m  |
   I'm not a man of too many faces,  the mask I wear is one

|F#m   E6                    |Bm   -    C#7sus4  C#7  |
   But those who speak know nothing
|D/F#   E6               |Bm   -  C#7sus4  C#7  |
   And  find out to their cost
|D                                       |Aadd9  C#7   |D               C#7sus4/G#   |F#m  |
   Like those who curse their luck in too many   places,  and those who fear are lost

|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
|D                          |Aadd9          C#7     |D              C#7sus4/G#  |F#m  F#m/E   |
   I know that diamonds mean money for this art, but that's not the shape of my  heart
|D              C#7sus4/G#  |F#m  F#m/E   |24D              |44C#7sus4/G#  |C#7sus4/G#       |
 That's not the shape of my  heart,         that's not the   shape,         the shape of my

|F#m   E6    |Bm   -  C#7sus4  C#7  |D/F#    E6    |Bm   -  C#7sus4  C#7  |
 heart
