He deals the cards as a meditation And those he plays never suspect He doesn't play for the money he wins He doesn't play for the respect He deals the cards to find the answer The sacred geometry of chance The hidden law of probable outcome The numbers lead a dance 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 He may play the jack of diamonds He may lay the queen of spades He may conceal a king in his hand While the memory of it fades 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 That's not the shape, the shape of my heart And if I told you that I loved you You'd maybe think there's something wrong I'm not a man of too many faces The mask I wear is one Those who speak know nothing And find out to their cost

Like those who curse their luck in too many places And those who fear are lost 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 That's not the shape of my heart

I just want you close Where you can stay forever You could be sure That it will only get better You and me together Through the days and nights I don't worry 'cause Everything's gonna be alright People keep talking They could say what they like But all I know is Everything's gonna be alright And no one, no one, no one Can get in the way of what I'm feeling No one, no one, no one Can get in the way of what I feel For you, you, you Can get in the way of what I feel for you When the rain is pouring down And my heart is hurting You will always be around This I know for certain

You and me together Through the days and nights [From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/a/alicia-keys-lyrics/noone-lyrics.html] I don't worry 'cause Everything's gonna be alright People keep talking They could say what they like But all I know is Everything's gonna be alright No one, no one, no one Can get in the way of what I'm feeling No one, no one, no one Can get in the way of what I feel For you, you, you Can get in the way of what I feel I know some people search the world To find something like what we have I know people will try Try to divide something so real So 'til the end of time I'm telling you there is

I used to rule the world Seas would rise when I gave the word Now in the morning I sleep alone Sweep the streets I used to own I used to roll the dice Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes Listen as the crowd would sing "Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!" One minute I held the key Next the walls were closed on me And I discovered that my castles standS Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing Roman Cavalry choirs are singing Be my mirror, my sword and shield My missionaries in a foreign field For some reason I can't explain Once you go there was never Never an honest word And that was when I ruled the world It was the wicked and wild wind Blew down the doors to let me in

Revolutionaries wait For my head on a silver plate Just a puppet on a lonely string Oh who would ever want to be king? E Hey dad look at me A Think back and talk to me E A Did I grow up according to plan? E A And do you think I'm wasting my time doing things I wanna do? E A But it hurts when you disapprove all along Refrain: F#m And now I try hard to make it A E I just want to make you proud E F#m I'm never gonna be good enough for you A I can't pretend that I'm alright B And you can't change me Chorus: E Cos we lost it all B Nothing lasts forever A I'm sorry B I can't be perfect E Now it's just too late and

B We can't go back A I'm sorry B I can't be perfect (Do chords of 1st stanza) I try not to think About the pain I feel inside Did you know you used to be my hero? All the days you spend with me Now seem so far away And it feels like you don't care anymore (Do chords of Refrain) And now I try hard to make it I just want to make you proud I'm never gonna be good enough for you I can't stand another fight And nothing's alright Repeat Chorus C#m B Nothing's gonna change the things that you said C#m B A Nothing's gonna make this right again C#m Please don't turn your back B F#m I can't believe it's hard F#m Just to talk to you A But you don't understand

two jumps in a week, I bet you think that's pretty clever don't you boy Flyin' on your motorcycle, watching all the ground beneath you drop You'd kill yourself for recognition, kill yourself to never ever stop You broke another mirror, you're turning into something you are not Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry Drying up in conversation, you will be the one who cannot talk All your insides fall to pieces, you just sit there wishing you could still make love They're the ones who'll hate you when you think you've got the world all sussed out They're the ones who'll spit at you, you will be the one screaming out Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry Oh, it's the best thing that you've ever had The best thing that you've ever, ever had It's the best thing that you've ever had The best thing you've had has gone away So don't leave me high, don't leave me dry Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry

Don't leave me high Don't leave me high Don't leave me dry

I don't wanna wait in vain for your love; I don't wanna wait in vain for your love. From the very first time I PLACED my eyes on you, girl, My heart says follow t'rough. But I know, now, that I'm way down on your line, But the waitin' feel is fine: So don't treat me like a puppet on a string, 'Cause I know I have to do my thing. Don't talk to me as if you think I'm dumb; I wanna know when you're gonna come - seen. I don't wanna wait in vain for your love; I don't wanna wait in vain for your love; I don't wanna wait in vain for your love, 'Cause if summer is here, I'm still waiting there; Winter is here, And I'm still waiting there. --/Guitar solo/ --Like I said: It's been three years since I'm knockin' on your door, And I still can knock some more: Ooh girl, ooh girl, is it feasible? I wanna know now, for I to knock some more. Ya see, in life I know there's lots of grief, But your love is my relief: Tears in my eyes burn - tears in my eyes burn While I'm waiting - while I'm waiting for my turn, See!

I don't wanna wait in vain for your love; I don't wanna wait in vain for your love; I don't wanna wait in vain for your love; I don't wanna wait in vain for your love; I don't wanna wait in vain for your love, oh! I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna I don't wanna wait in vain. I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna I don't wanna wait in vain.

It's Jah love that I'm waiting on (I don't wanna - I don't wanna I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna wait in vain); It's me love that you're running from.

We've been together for a while now We're growing stronger everyday now It feels so good and there's no doubt I will stay with you as each morning brings sunrise And the flowers bloom in springtime On my love you can rely And I'll stay with you Oh I'll stay with you through the ups and the downs Oh I'll stay with you when no one else is around And when the dark clouds arrive I will stay by your side I know we'll be alright I will stay with you Though relationships can get old They have the tendency to grow cold We have something like miracle Yeah, and I'll stay with you Oh I'll stay with you through the ups and the downs Oh I'll stay with you when no one else is around And when the dark clouds arrive I will stay by your side I know we'll be alright I will stay with you And there will be heartaches and pains, yes it will But through it all, we will remain In this life, we all know Friends may come, and they may go Through the years I know I will stay And in the end I know that we'll find Love so beautiful and divine
