House Of Cards

Owen Temple

 

C             G              C
We live in a house of cards so tall
F                   G                          C
It looks fine on the outside but it’s bound to fall
     F                G
But the looking good is easy
        C                   Am
It’s the feeling good that’s hard
      C            G             C
And this house is just a house of cards


C                                G             C
We’ve been bluffing each other for almost seven years
F                      G
We both put on out best poker face
C
But inside we’re filled with tears
F                  G          C                   Am
I bet our love and lost in too many other secret games
C                                  G         C
Now the love is spent and just the marriage remains

Chorus

You wear a diamond but you’ve got a broken heart
We look like the perfect paid but we’re far apart
It just a matter of time until the shiny surface fades
And all that I’ve done wrong pays back in spades
