counting cards Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]Picture me counting cards, dear
Pick any kind you like
Picture them [G]coloured [Am]red, dear
Black will hold back the light
From [G]the stars in our eyes,
we're [F]just diamonds, broke

[Verse 2]
[Am]Jokes we tell to laugh, [Dm]dear
[Am]Laugh on back the pain
[G]Pain is in the mind, dear
Stars are much the same
[F]Gone in the time it takes the light to reach
In [Dm]time, you'll find we're [G]blind to
the thing[F]s we don't believe
[Am]

[Verse 3]
Picture us out in Vegas,
counting bills before the show
Spend[G]ing 'em from New Orleans,
where we spent the week before
And [F]the stars in our eyes are the
lights from the flash

[Verse 4]
Pic[Am]tures of us in black, dear,
rolling on the red
[G]Carpets laid on concrete,
counting billboards where we read
That [F]the stars of our minds shine bright in the dark like [Dm]diamonds,
[G]diamonds

[Verse 5]
[Am]And our hearts in our cards,
and our sil[G]ver strung guitars, say
[F]"Hear me when I call,
[Dm]hear me when I come in [Am]late"
You're wide awake,
[G]"I'm sorry" is not eno[F]ugh
I'm sorry, I'm not [Dm]enough to stay

[Verse 6]
[Am]Faded [G]by, in time with
the back of your bed
Am [F]I that levy you t[Dm]ake,
that levy you [Am]hold?
Faded [G]by, in time with the back of your bed
Am [F]I that levy you break,[Dm]
that levy you [Am]hold?[G][Am]
[G]Paint me

[Verse 7]
[Am]red, paint me red
Picture that, picture that
[G]Picture us and God shaking hands,
just because we can
[F]Like DMC, we run this shit
Run DMC, what's tricky to get? Hey,
[Dm]God
Watch me [Am]murder [G]this
Watch me [Am]murder this

[Interlude 1]
[Am][G][Am][G][Am][F]
[Am][Dm][Am][G][Am][G][Dm]
[F][G][Dm]

[Verse 8]
[Am]Planes fly due west, and [G]plain in my view
Is [F]the blame for the fault in our [Dm]stars,
counting cards in [Am]the dark
We sit and talk, [G]bleeding it out
Believing that all our [F]cries
are just [Dm]diamonds

[Verse 9]
[Am]Hearts in our cards,
and our sil[G]ver strung guitars, say
[F]"Hear me when I call,
[Dm]hear me when I come in [Am]late"
You're wide awake,
[G]"I'm sorry" is not eno[F]ugh
I'm sorry, I'm not [Dm]enough to stay

[Verse 10]
[Am]Faded [G]by, in time with
the back of your bed
Am [F]I that levy you t[Dm]ake,
that levy you [Am]hold?
Faded [G]by, in time with
the back of your bed
Am [F]I that l[Am]evy you break,[Dm]
that levy you hold?
[Am][F][Am]

[Verse 11]
[Am]Faded [G]by, in time with the back of your bed
Am [F]I that l[Dm]evy y[Am]ou t[Dm]ake,
that levy [Am]you hold?
Faded [Dm]by, [G]in time with
the back of your bed
Am [F]I that l[Am]evy y[C]ou take,
[Dm]that levy you [Am]hold?

[Verse 12]
Picture me [G]counting [Am]cards, dear
Picture me counting cards
