Am   Dm   Am   Dm

[Verse 1]
Am
Time slips by in the hourglass
        Dm
You can hear your name
Am
Sand slides through the stranger's hand
                F
As he deals the game


[Verse 2]
        G                   F
All the candles are burning low
        G                   F
No more cradles and no more snow
         G         C     Dm
Bet your life on a lucky roll
          G                C        Dm
Play your queen, you could win your soul
           G              C       F
Stakes are high you could live or die
             G      Am   Dm
To risk everything


[Verse 3]
Am
In your goblet the wine is black
     Dm
As a moonless night
Am
Wet your lips before you kiss
            F
The blazing light


[Verse 4]
         G                   Am
Bets are off but the game is on
F        G                  Am
Drop the armour you counted on
F        G          Am       Dm
All your armies are fled and gone
F        G                       Am
Win your king, you can play your pawn
F         G         Am          Dm
Take your time, you have just begun
             G
To risk everything


[Chorus]
C                     F
Catch your tears in a golden sieve
C                     F
Don't regret what you did to live
C                     F       Am
Don't forget that you must forgive
             G      Am   Dm
To risk everything


[Verse 5]
Am
Through the window you see the storm
        Dm
That is gathering
Am
Painted gypsies on dappled horses
          F
Are galloping


[Verse 6]
            G            Am
Through the trees in the howling wind
F        G            Am
Down the hills to the river bend
F      G               Am       Dm
Shadow ghosts that are blind as night
F         G                  Am
Shrieking curses against the night
F      G           Am         Dm
Daring you to come join their flight
             G
And risk everything


[Chorus]
C                     F
Catch your tears in a golden sieve
C                     F
Don't regret what you did to live
C                     F       Am
Don't forget that you must forgive
             G      Am   Dm
To risk everything


[Verse 7]
Am
There is nothing to hold you now
       Dm
To your fault or mine
Am
Fallen idols and martyred souls
             F
Are the only kind


[Verse 8]
        G           Am
Feet of clay in the emerald skies
F        G             Am
Birds of prey when the dreamer dies
F       G          Am        Dm
Perfect crosses perfect your lies
F       G             Am
Burning saints in the flaming skies
F        G          Am
Bet your life every promise dies
F          G        Am     Dm
All that's left for you to try
                G
Is risking everything


[Chorus]
C                     F
Catch your tears in a golden sieve
C                     F
Don't regret what you did to live
C                     F       Am
Don't forget that you must forgive
             G      Am   Dm   Am
To risk everything


[Chorus]
C                     F
Catch your tears in a golden sieve
C                     F
Don't regret what you did to live
C                     F       Am
Don't forget that you must forgive
             G      Am   Dm
To risk everything


[Verse 9]
Am
Time slips by in the hourglass
        Dm
You can hear your name
Am
Sand slides through the stranger's hand
                F
As he deals the game


[Verse 10]
        G                   F
All the candles are burning low
        G                   F
No more cradles and no more snow
         G         C     Dm
Bet your life on a lucky roll
          G                C        Dm
Play your queen, you could win your soul
           G              C       Dm
Stakes are high you could live or die
             G      Am   Dm
To risk everything


[Chorus]
C                     F
Catch your tears in a golden sieve
C                     F
Don't regret what you did to live
C                     F       Am
Don't forget that you must forgive
             G      Am   Dm
To risk everything
