Intro: Em D Em x2

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

Em D Em

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

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

             C                                    B7 Em
When you get crushed in a house of cards. House of cards

Em D Em x2

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

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

             C                                    B7 Em
When you get crushed in a house of cards. House of cards
            Em
House of cards

Em G D Em x4

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

             C                                      B7 Em
When you get crushed in a house of cards. House of cards.
