#HOUSE OF CARDS (Mary Chapin Carpenter)
#
[Actually in A; capo 2.]
[Each chord is half of a measure.]
[G][in[Gsus]tro] [G] [Gsus] [G] [Gsus] [G] [Gsus] [G] [Gsus] [G] [Gsus] [G] [Gsus]
[G] I grew u[Gsus]p in a ho[G]use like th[Gsus]is, [G] we knew the [Gsus]groan of e[G]very st[Gsus]air
[G] All the [Gsus]walls seemed t[G]o listen [Gsus]in, [G] all the y[Gsus]ears seemed to [G]take up [Gsus]air
[C(9] When you [C(9]dreamed it was [D]of the w[G/B]ind [C(9] blowing [C(9]cold and [D]hard[G/B]
[C(9] In those [C(9]dreams you [D]thought you [G/B]lived [Am7] in a [Am7]house of [D]card[D]s [D] [D]
[G][in[Gsus]strume[G]nta[Gsus]l]
I grew up in a town like this, we knew the names of every street
On the surface it looked so safe, but it was perilous underneath
That's the place you shoved your doubts and hid your ugly scars
God forbid if word got out about your house of cards
[C] And now I [C]feel the w[C]ind ab[C]out to bl[D]ow, and [D]baby I'm [G]so sc[G/F#]ared
[Em] You're re[Em]peating the [Bm7]past instead of [Bm7]letting it go
[Bm7](go) And [Am7]I don't [G]wanna g[G]o back there
[C(9][guit[C(9]ar so[D]lo][G/B] [C(9] [C(9] [D] [G/B] [C(9] [C(9] [D] [G/B] [Am7] [Am7] [D] [D]
[C(9][guit[C(9]ar so[D]lo][G/B] [C(9] [C(9] [D] [G/B] [C(9] [C(9] [D] [G/B] [Am7] [Am7] [D] [D] [D] [D]
[G][in[Gsus]strumen[G]tal[Gsus]] [G] [Gsus] [G] [Gsus]
Now we're standing here face to face, afraid to move or else
I wanna prop up this fragile place, I can't do it all by myself
'Cause when we dream, it's of the wind, blowing cold and hard
When we wake up we still live in a house of cards
'Cause when we dream, it's of the wind, blowing cold and hard
When we wake up we still live in a house of cards
[G][re[Gsus]peat an[G]d f[Gsus]ade] [G] [Gsus] [G] [Gsus]
