House Of Cards
View chords used in this chart
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
