Chords

- The Dm I use in the Chorus is - X57765 [Intro] G Em G Em [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              Dm                  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              Dm                  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
