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
