Counting Cards chords by Rainbow Kitten Surprise

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)



 Am
Picture me counting cards, dear

Pick any kind you like
 G
Picture them colored red, dear

Black will hold back the light
      F
From the stars in our eyes are just diamonds, broke
 Am
Jokes we tell to laugh, dear

Laugh to hold 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
  Dm
In time you'll find
    G      F         Am
We're blind to the things we don't believe


Verse 2:
  Am
Picture us out in Vegas counting bills before the show
  G
Spendin' em from New Orleans where we spent the week before
     F
And the stars in our eyes are the lights from the flash
  Am
Pictures of us in black, dear
  G
Rolling on the red carpets laid on concrete

Counting billboards where we read
      F
That the stars of our minds shine bright in the dark
    Dm     G
Like diamonds, diamonds


Pre-Chorus:
   Am             G
And hearts in our cards and our silver strung guitars
   F
Say hear me when I call
 Dm           Am
Hear me when I come in late

You're wide awake
    G      F
"I'm sorry" is not enough
          Dm
I'm sorry I'm not enough to stay


Chorus:
  Am  G
Faded by

In time with the back of your bed
 F         Dm
Am I that levy you take, that levy you hold
  F      G
Faded by in time

With the back of your bed
 F          Dm
Am I that levy you break, that levy you hold


Bridge:
   Am
Paint me 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 we got
 Dm*
Watch me murder this
  Dm*
Watch me murder this


Bridge:
Am G F Dm  2x


Verse 3:
  Am
Planes fly due west, and
  G           F             Dm
Plain in my view is the blame for the fault in our stars
            Am
Counting cards in the dark
          G
We sit and talk, bleeding it out
            F        Dm
Believing that all our cries are just diamonds


Pre-Chorus:
  Am             G
Hearts in our cards and our silver strung guitars
   F
Say hear me when I call
 Dm           Am
Hear me when I come in late
        G
You're wide awake
           F
"I'm sorry" is not enough
          Dm
I'm sorry I'm not enough to stay


Chorus:
 Am   G
Faded by in time

With the back of your bed
  F        Dm
Am I that levy you take, that levy you hold
  Am     G
Faded by in time

With the back of your bed
 F          Dm
Aam I that levy you break, that levy you hold
 Am    G
Faded by in time

With the back of your bed
 F          Dm
Am I that levy you take, that levy you hold

  Am
Picture me counting cards, dear, picture me counting cards
