Capo 4

              C5           
And this house is built of cards
                            G5
And the earth is blowin' too hard
              C5
because Dad won't stop drinkin
       F5
and Mom won't stop cheatin
         C5        G5          C5
herself, and the family and me

              C5
And so I lie beneath it all
                                         G5
Watch the king and his queen as they fall
                       C5
They say that diamonds are forever
        F5
And hearts aren't that clever
          C5          G5             C5
And the suits that we parade don't mean a thing

            F5
And it's never us to blame
           D5
A new prescription with a different name
                         A5
but it tastes the same
              F5
So we'll roll the dice and play
                     D5
and take our chances anyway
              C5
And if it's ours, then we're
 G5                     A5
Banking on the love
       G5               F5
One in ten can't save us from
                            G5
The sad statistic we've become
                             C5      
Seems like they've already won

C5 G5 A5 G5 F5 G5 C5

                     C5
And now our home is growin cold
                                               G5
I look at you, you look at me, we turn and fold
                           C5
It seems that I can't stop drinking
       F5
and you can't stop cheatin
       C5          G5       C5
Yourself, and our family and me

            F5
And it's never us to blame
           D5
A new prescription with a different name
                         A5
but it tastes the same
           F5
So we roll the dice and play
                     D5
and take our chances anyway
              C5
And if it's ours, then we're
 G5                     A5
Banking on the love
           G5           F5         G5
One in ten can't save us from
                                   C5
