Capo 4

              C           
And this house is built of cards
                            G
And the earth is blowin' too hard
              C
because Dad won't stop drinkin
       F
and Mom won't stop cheatin
         C        G          C
herself, and the family and me

              C
And so I lie beneath it all
                                         G
Watch the king and his queen as they fall
                       C
They say that diamonds are forever
        F
And hearts aren't that clever
          C          G             C
And the suits that we parade don't mean a thing

            F
And it's never us to blame
           Dm
A new prescription with a different name
                         Am
but it tastes the same
              F
So we'll roll the dice and play
                     Dm
and take our chances anyway
              C
And if it's ours, then we're
 G                     Am
Banking on the love
       G               F
One in ten can't save us from
                            G
The sad statistic we've become
                             C      
Seems like they've already won

C G Am G F G C

                     C
And now our home is growin cold
                                               G
I look at you, you look at me, we turn and fold
                           C
It seems that I can't stop drinking
       F
and you can't stop cheatin
       C          G       C
Yourself, and our family and me

            F
And it's never us to blame
           Dm
A new prescription with a different name
                         Am
but it tastes the same
           F
So we roll the dice and play
                     Dm
and take our chances anyway
              C
And if it's ours, then we're
 G                     Am
Banking on the love
           G           F         G
One in ten can't save us from
                                   C
The sad statistic we've become
