[Verse 1:]
I live my life in chains
Got my hands in chains

And I can't stick with the cards
That I got with a deal
Like this I must insist

That a girl's got more to do
Then be the way you think a woman should
I'm taking it into my own hands

In this man's land I can understand
Why I'm taking command
Had enough of stuff

And now it's time to think about me, me yeah

[Bridge:]

And you can easily gamble your life away
Second after second
And day by day

You play the game or you walk away
It's a new turn on a blue day
And a cool deal of life for me

And it's all good

[Chorus:]

I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art

But that's not the shape of my heart

[Verse 2:]

I've always played it safe nothing's ever safe
Give me the courage to back my own convictions
Every decision I make I pay it back and more

Now turn the cards and let them fall to me
I don't need to play on with the hand that they have given me
I'll give it back cos it's not the way it has to be


[Bridge:]
And you can easily gamble your life away

Second after second
And day by day
You play the game or you walk away

It's a new turn on a blue day
And a cool deal of life for me
And it's all good


[Chorus:]
I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier

I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart


[Bridge:]
That's not the shape

The shape of my heart
My heart
That's not the shape of my heart


And you can easily gamble your life away
Second after second

And day by day
You play the game or you walk away
It's a new turn on a blue day

And a cool deal of life for me
And it's all good


And you can easily gamble your life away
Second after second
And day by day

You play the game or you walk away
It's a new turn on a blue day
And a cool deal of life for me

And I'm feeling good

[Chorus:]

I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart


I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape
The shape of my heart...
