[verse]
There are
Am Em F Am
unsmiling faces and bright plastic chains
Am Em7/A Am Am/B Am/C Am/B
And a wheel in per-petual motion
Am Em F Am
And they follow the races and pay out the gains
Em7/A Am Em7/A Am
With no show of an outward emotion
E7sus4 E7 Am
And they think it will make their lives easier
E7sus4 E7 Dm7
For God knows, up till now it's been hard
Am Em Gm Dm
But the game never ends when your whole world de-pends
Am Em7/A Am Am/B Am/C Am/B
On the turn of a friendly card
Am Em Gm Dm
No, the game never ends when your whole world de-pends
Am Em7/A Am G Fmaj7
On the turn of a friendly card
Am Em F Am
There's a sign in the desert that lies to the west
Em7/A Am Am/B Am/C Am/B
Where you can't tell the night from the sunrise
Am Em F Am
And not all the king's horses and all the king's men
Am Em7/A Am Am/B Am/C Am/B
Have prevented the fall of the unwise
E7sus4 E7 Am
Oh, they think it will make their lives easier
E7sus4 E7 Dm7
And God knows, up till now it's been hard
Am Em Gm Dm
But the game never ends when your whole world depends
Am Em7/A Am Am/B Am/C Am/B
On the turn of a friendly card
Am Em Gm Dm
No, the game never ends when your whole world de-pends
Am Em7/A Am G Fmaj7
On the turn of a friendly card

Am Em F Am
But a pilgrim must follow in search of a shrine
Am Em7/A Am Em7/A Am
As he enters in-side the ca-thed-ral
