[Verse 1]
A C#m/G# F#m
He promised her a homeplace for the family
D A E
A rock that they could build their lives upon
D A E/G# F#m
He promised they’d entwine their lives forever
D E
But, every time she reaches out, he’s gone.
[Verse 2]
A C#m/G# F#m
There’s an empty bed waitin’ down the hallway
D A E
Tonight she’s puttin’ out the light alone.
D A E/G# F#m
again, she leaves a candle in the window
D E
Without him this house is not a home
[Chorus]
A D A
House of cards, it was all a house of cards,
E A
Built by hand, in better days.
A A/C# D
House of cards, though? she can barely see him
E A
House of cards, just blow away
[Verse 3]
A C#m/G# F#m
It's a shame she wasn’t born to follow
D A E
She wishes she could hide his dusty boots
D A E/G# F#m
She needs someone there that she can lean on
D E
He sow the seed, but never set down roots
[Chorus]
A D A
House of cards, it was all a house of cards,
E A
Built by hand, in better days.
A A/C# D
House of cards, though? she can barely see him
E A
House of cards, just blow away
[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
A D A
House of cards, it was all a house of cards,
E A
Built by hand, in better days.
A A/C# D
House of cards, though? she can barely see him
E A
House of cards, just blow away
A D A
House of cards, it was all a house of cards,
E A
Built by hand, in better days.
A A/C# D
House of cards, though? she can barely see him
E A
House of cards, just blow away
