[Verse]

  D        G      A       D
Away, the joker's closing in
  G        A         D
Reform and they will win
    G        A      G
The light is fading fast
G
I know, you know, they know, we all 
know
G
Everybody's gonna burn down

    D          G        A      D
The girls come crawling on all fours
G       A         D
Banging on locked doors
G          A        G
High cards call the tune
G
I know, you know, they know, we all 
know
G
Everybody's gonna burn down

    D           G      A    
The ace, that's hiding up your 
   D
sleeve
     G         A        D
Will cause the world to grieve

The love you had is gone
G
I know you know, they know, we all 
know

    D         G     A        D
The dream, in every player's heart
   G      A       D
To win it all not part

They lie awake at night
G
I know, you know, they know, we all 
know

    D           G        A        
The game, where gamblers rule the 
D
night
    G        A          D
And get your blood they might
     G      A        G
The joker's closing' in
G
I know, you know, they know, we all 
know
