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
