Shape of My Heart (Sting)

He deals the cards as  a me-di-ta-tion
-6   +7   -6  +7   +7  -8 +7  -6
And those he plays nev-er su-spect
-6  +7  -6   +7  +6  +6  +8  -9 +8  +8
He does-n't play for the mon-ey he wins
+7  +7  +7   +8  +7  -8  +7  -6
He does-n't play for the re-spect
-6  +7   -6   +7   -6  -8  +7  +7  -7
He deals the cards to find the an-swer
-6  +7  -6  +7 -6  -8  +7   -7
The sa-cred ge-ome-try of chance
-6  +7  -6  +7  +6 +6  +8 -9 +8  +8   -8
The hid-den law of  a prob-a-ble out-come
+7  +8   +7   -8 -8  -7
The num-bers lead a dance

 I know that the spades 
+7  -8    +8   -9 +8 +8   -8
are the swords of  a sol-dier
+5  +7   -8  +8   +8   +7  +8   -9  +8 -8
 I know that the clubs are wea-pons of war
+5  -7   -6   -7   +7   +6
 I know that diam-onds mean 
+8  +8  +8  +8  +8
mon-ey for this art
+6   +7    +7   +7  +8   -8 -8  -7
But that's not the shape of my heart


+7 -8   +8  -9  +8   +7  +8   -8
He may play the jack of diam-onds
+7  -8  +8 -9    +8  -8   -8
He may lay the queen of spades
-5 -6   -6  +7 +6  +8  -9  +8  +8
He may con-ceal a king in his hand
  -7  +7  +8  +7  -8 -8  -7
While the mem-'ry of it fades

[REFRAIN see above]
  +8   -8  +7   +8
That's not the shape________,
 -6  +8   -8 +7   +8
the shape of my heart_______.

And if  I told you that I loved you
 -6   +7  -8   +8   -9     +8    -8    -8
You'd may-be think there's some-thing wrong.
-5  +7 -6  +7 +6 +8  -9 _8  +8 -8
I'm not a man of too man-y fac-es
+7   +8 +7  -8  -8  -7
The mask I wear is one
 +7   +8   -9    +8   -8  -8
Those who speak know noth-ing
-5   +7  -6  +7  -6    +7
And find out to their cost
-5    +7    -6  +7    -6    +7
Like those who curse their luck 
+6 +8  -9 +8  +8  -8
in too man-y plac-es
+7   +8   +7   -8   -8   -7
And those who smile are lost

[REFRAIN see above]
  +8   -8  +7   +8   -8 -8  -7
That's not the shape of my heart.
  +8   -8  +7   +8
That's not the shape________,
 -6  +8   -8 -8   -7
the shape of my heart.


**Larry Adler's harmonica solo is a full octave
above the rest of the song, so to play it a
little truer to the original, you would need to
play the rest of the song an octave lower.
