Intro: D#m C# D#m x2

      D#m                F#      C#   D#m
    Sometimes I walk mysterious places,
             D#m             F#          C#
    Hear voices that talk without a word to say.
     D#m                 F#          C#      D#m
    Sometimes I hear the echoes of laughter,
                D#m            F#            C#         D#m
    In the twilight of affairs and other tragedie......s.

D#m C# D#m

        D#m               F#      C#         D#m
    A half-moon away, way too close to heaven,
    D#m               F#            C#
    She had the look, but no morality.
                            D#m             F#   C# D#m
    Sometimes itʼs easy to forget only for a moment,
                          D#m              F# C#
    But there are nights you regret eternally.
            G#m                D#m                     B C#
    Whatever frozen hearts can do, will melt the ice away.

                 D#m                 B
How you know what itʼs like when good luck
                 C# D#m
Has changed the sides,
            D#m                         B  C#
And no sun shines in the dark, and no angels
                          D#m     B
Ever hear your prayers in the night.
                    C#          D#m
When your fears come up your spine,
                  D#m                      B        C#
When your life turns upside down, it breaks your heart.

             B                                    A#7 D#m
When you get crushed in a house of cards. House of cards

D#m C# D#m x2

               D#m                  F#            C#  D#m
    Itʼs so hard to find a way when life is in pieces,
                 D#m            F#           C#
    And the taste of a kiss is so bittersweet.
                             D#m            F#  C# D#m
    Sometimes itʼs easy to forget only for a moment,
                 D#m
    But the man whoʼll rise up from the ashes
            F#          C#
    Is no one else but me.
            G#m               D#m              B     C#
    Iʼm standing in a waterfall to wash the lies away.

                 D#m                 B
How you know what itʼs like when good luck
                 C# D#m
Has changed the sides,
            D#m                         B  C#
And no sun shines in the dark, and no angels
                          D#m     B
Ever hear your prayers in the night.
                    C#          D#m
When your fears come up your spine,
                  D#m                      B        C#
When your life turns upside down, it breaks your heart.

             B                                    A#7 D#m
When you get crushed in a house of cards. House of cards
            D#m
House of cards

D#m F# C# D#m x4

                 D#m
How you know what itʼs like
         B                   C#   D#m
When good luck has changed the sides,
            D#m                         B  C#
And no sun shines in the dark, and no angels
                          D#m     B
Ever hear your prayers in the night.
                    C#           D#m
When your fears come up your spine,
                  D#m                      B        C#
When your life turns upside down, and there is no one.

             B                                      A#7 D#m
When you get crushed in a house of cards. House of cards.
