F    C       G        Am 
Easy credit, no money down 
F          C           G          Am 
That's the way that we built this town 
    F        C          G          Am 
The banker's ledger, we watched it rise 
  F        C           G       Am 
A house of cards and a pack of lies 
  F        C           G       Am    F C   G Am   
A house of cards and a pack of lies 


F       C         G          Am 
Rung by rung they raised the stakes 
    F        C             G      Am 
You bend the rules and the batter breaks 
   F       C                    G        Am 
We all get wealthy, but will we ever get wise 
       F        C           G       Am 
To the house of cards and a pack of lies 
  F        C           G       Am    F C   G Am   
A house of cards and a pack of lies 


     F        C           G         Am 
They sold you plastic and took your ace 
    F         C            G       Am 
The suits and ties and the joker's face 
    F           C       G       Am 
And now there's nowhere left to hide 
       F        C           G       Am 
Than a house of cards and a pack of lies 
  F        C           G       C 
A house of cards and a pack of lies

    F          C        G        Am 
The times were easy, we did the deal 
   F          C              G        Am 
We placed out bets, but they spun the wheel 
       F           C           G      Am 
And we should have known there was no prize 
      F        C           G       Am 
But a house of cards and a pack of lies 
  F        C           G       Am 
A house of cards and a pack of lies 


INTERLUDE: F C   G Am   F C   G Am    


F         C            G      Am 
Smoke and mirrors, the market crash 
   F        C       G         Am 
We burnt it down to stone and ash 
   F        C           G     Am 
We lit the fires of our own demise 
       F        C           G       Am 
In the house of cards and a pack of lies 
       F        C           G       C 
In the house of cards and a pack of lies 


INTERLUDE: F C   G Am   F C   G Am    


F              C            G       Am 
We bought that dream and we sold it on 
       F           C                G       Am 
But it ain't worth nothing, now the money's gone 
    F    C            G      Am 
The only shelter that credit buys 
     F        C           G       Am 
Is a house of cards and a pack of lies 
  F        C           G       Am 
A house of cards and a pack of lies
