F C G Am
Easy credit, no money down
F C G Am
That's the way that we built this town
F C G Am
The banker's ledger, we watched it rise
F C G Am
A house of cards and a pack of lies
F C G Am F C G Am
A house of cards and a pack of lies
F C G Am
Rung by rung they raised the stakes
F C G Am
You bend the rules and the batter breaks
F C G Am
We all get wealthy, but will we ever get wise
F C G Am
To the house of cards and a pack of lies
F C G Am F C G Am
A house of cards and a pack of lies
F C G Am
They sold you plastic and took your ace
F C G Am
The suits and ties and the joker's face
F C G Am
And now there's nowhere left to hide
F C G Am
Than a house of cards and a pack of lies
F C G C
A house of cards and a pack of lies

The times were easy, we did the deal
F C G Am
We placed out bets, but they spun the wheel
F C G Am
And we should have known there was no prize
F C G Am
But a house of cards and a pack of lies
F C G Am
A house of cards and a pack of lies
INTERLUDE: F C G Am F C G Am
F C G Am
Smoke and mirrors, the market crash
F C G Am
We burnt it down to stone and ash
F C G Am
We lit the fires of our own demise
F C G Am
In the house of cards and a pack of lies
F C G C
In the house of cards and a pack of lies
INTERLUDE: F C G Am F C G Am
F C G Am
We bought that dream and we sold it on
F C G Am
But it ain't worth nothing, now the money's gone
F C G Am
The only shelter that credit buys
F C G Am
Is a house of cards and a pack of lies
F C G Am
A house of cards and a pack of lies
