[Intro]
G Em G Em
[Verse 1]
F C
I hear tell some playboy has kidnapped your heart
G C Bb
With his plane and his plans for games after dark
Am D/F#
Just a pain in his pocket, and the price of a room
C G/B Am7 Em
Where the second hand sheets smell of, stale perfume
[Verse 2]
F C
If there's sharks in the water, don't swim where it's deep
G C Bb
For the taste of success can be bitter and sweet
Am D/F#
It could be alright that I act like a child
C G/B Am7 Em
But you'll be the loser when the jokers run wild
[Chorus]
G Em
You're just playing the game, but the stakes are too high
D Bm
What will you do when the chips start to fly
Em D5 C Db
When the deck's stacked against you, and the living gets hard
D Em Eb G Em G Em
Oh, it's four walls of madness in this house of cards
[Verse 3]
F C
Common you call me, but I know there's time
G C Bb
In a handful of diamonds, a heart's hard to find
Am D/F#
And your house of cards starts weighing you down
C G/B Am7 Em
Your nights become restless when the clubs start to pound
[Chorus]
G Em
You're just playing the game, but the stakes are too high
D Bm
What will you do when the chips start to fly
Em D5 C Db
When the deck's stacked against you, and the living gets hard
D Em Eb G Em G
Oh, it's four walls of madness in this house of cards
[Chorus]
G Em
You're just playing the game, but the stakes are too high
D Bm
What will you do when the chips start to fly
Em D5 C Db
When the deck's stacked against you, and the living gets hard
D Em Eb G Em G Em
Oh, it's four walls of madness in this house of cards
