[Verse 1]
Fm          G#       Eb      Fm
Sometimes I walk mysterious places

                 G#      Eb
Hear voices that talk without a word to say

Fm          G#       Eb      Fm
Sometimes I hear the echoes of laughter

                   G#          Eb           Fm
In the twilight of affairs and other tragedies
[Ponte] Fm Eb
Fm          G#    Eb               Fm
A half-moon away, way too close to heaven

            G#        Eb        
She had the look, but no morality

    G#         Fm        G#   Eb        Fm 
Sometimes it's easy to forget only for a moment

                          G#      Eb
But there are nights you regret eternally

Bbm             Fm
Whatever frozen hearts can do

     C#           Eb
Will melt the ice away
[Chorus]
        Fm             C#
How you know what it's like

         Eb                    Fm 
When good luck has changed the sides

                         C#          Eb
And no sun shines in the dark and no angels

               Fm             C#
Ever hear your prayers in the night

          Eb                Fm
When your fears come up your spine

                            C#                  Eb
When your life turns upside down it breaks your heart

     C#                            C
When you get crushed in a house of cards

      Fm      
House of cards
[Ponte] Fm Eb (2x) [Verse 2]
Fm                     G#       Eb        Fm
It's so hard to find a way when life is in pieces

                  G#           Eb
And the taste of a kiss is so bittersweet

Cm             Fm         G#    Eb        Fm
Sometimes it's easy to forget only for a moment

                                    G#      Eb
But the man who'll rise up from the ashes is no one else but me

     Bbm         Fm
I'm standing in a waterfall

   C#            Eb            
To wash the lies away
[Chorus]
        Fm             C#
How you know what it's like

          Eb                  Fm 
When good luck has changed the sides

                         C#          Eb
And no sun shines in the dark and no angels

               Fm             C#
Ever hear your prayers in the night

          Eb                Fm
When your fears come up your spine

                            C#                  Eb
When your life turns upside down it breaks your heart

      Fm       G#    Eb

When you get crushed in a house of cards
