|Dm   Am      |Bb    Am     |Gm   Am Am7/G|Dm   Am/D Dm|
 
|Dm   A7/C#   |Bb    Am    |Gm   Am Am7/G|Dm   Am/D Dm|
 
          Dm        Am        Bb             Dm
There are unsmiling faces and bright plastic chains
      Dm          Am/D   Dm   Dm/E   Dm/F  Dm/E
And a wheel in perpetual motion
         Dm         Am        Bb          Dm
And they follow the races and pay out the gains
                   Am/D    Dm        Am/D Dm
With no show of an outward emotion
 
 
         A7sus4        A7               Dm
And they think it will make their lives easier
        A7sus4         A7            Gm7
For God knows, up till now it's been hard
        Dm         Am             Cm            Gm
But the game never ends when your whole world depends
       Dm        Am/D     Dm   Dm/E   Dm/F  Dm/E
On the turn of a friendly card
        Dm         Am             Cm            Gm
No, the game never ends when your whole world depends
       Dm        Am/D     Dm    C   Bbmaj7
On the turn of a friendly ca-ard
 
 
          Dm          Am          Bb          Dm
There's a sign in the desert that lies to the west
                         Am/D           Dm    Dm/E  Dm/F  Dm/E
Where you can't tell the night from the sunrise
        Dm             Am         Bb             Dm
And not all the king's horses and all the king's men
     Dm            Am/D        Dm     Dm/E Dm/F Dm/E
Have prevented the fall of the unwise
 
 
         A7sus4        A7               Dm
Oh, they think it will make their lives easier
        A7sus4         A7            Gm7
And God knows, up till now it's been hard
        Dm         Am             Cm            Gm
But the game never ends when your whole world depends
       Dm        Am/D     Dm    Dm/E   Dm/F  Dm/E
On the turn of a friendly ca-ard
        Dm         Am             Cm            Gm
No, the game never ends when your whole world depends
       Dm        Am/D     Dm    C   Dm7
On the turn of a friendly ca-ard
 
|Dm    Am    |Bb    Dm   |Dm    Am/D   |Dm  Dm/E Dm/F Dm/E |
 
      Dm           Am        Bb          Dm
But a pilgrim must follow in search of a shrine
      Dm       Am/D        Dm    Am/D  Dm
As he enters inside the cathedral
