Intro: F C   G Am   (4x) 

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
