Verse 1:
FF              C majorC
I hear tell some playboy has kidnapped your heart
G+G                C majorC      Bb majorBb
With his plane and his plans for games after dark
    A minorAm             D/F#D/F#
Just a pain in his pocket, and the price of a room
     C majorC      G/BG/B      Am7Am7    E minorEm
Where the second hand sheets smell of, stale perfume

Verse 2:
     FF              C majorC
If there's sharks in the water, don't swim where it's deep
    G+G            C majorC     Bb majorBb
For the taste of success can be bitter and sweet
  A minorAm           D/F#D/F#
It could be alright that I act like a child
  C majorC       G/BG/B      Am7Am7    E minorEm
But you'll be the loser when the jokers run wild

Chorus:
      G+G             E minorEm
You're just playing the game, but the stakes are too high
D MajorD             B minorBm
What will you do when the chips start to fly
     E minorEm       D5D5         C majorC      DbDb
When the deck's stacked against you, and the living gets hard
     D MajorD       E minorEm      Eb MajorEb     G+G  E minorEm G+G E minorEm
Oh, it's four walls of madness in this house of cards

Verse 3:
FF            C majorC
 Common you call me, but I know there's time
   G+G           C majorC        Bb majorBb
In a handful of diamonds, a heart's hard to find
  A minorAm             D/F#D/F#
And your house of cards starts weighing you down
   C majorC       G/BG/B        Am7Am7      E minorEm
Your nights become restless when the clubs start to pound

Chorus:
      G+G             E minorEm
You're just playing the game, but the stakes are too high
D MajorD             B minorBm
What will you do when the chips start to fly
     E minorEm       D5D5         C majorC      DbDb
When the deck's stacked against you, and the living gets hard
     D MajorD       E minorEm      Eb MajorEb     G+G  E minorEm G+G
Oh, it's four walls of madness in this house of cards

You're just playing the game, but the stakes are too high
D MajorD             B minorBm
What will you do when the chips start to fly
     E minorEm       D5D5         C majorC      DbDb
When the deck's stacked against you, and the living gets hard
     D MajorD       E minorEm      Eb MajorEb     G+G  E minorEm G+G E minorEm
Oh, it's four walls of madness in this house of cards
