[Verse]

        D
You can keep on pushing
      C                          G
But I know you're never gonna fight
           D
You better keep on looking
           C                          G
Cause it's written down in black and white
C
Seven come eleven, you're rolling snake eyes
G
Every time you roll the dice
             C
There's some good old blood I'd help if I could
    D
But don't you know my hands are tied


[Chorus]

F C

             G                F C
You got your back to the wall
           G              F C
Should you raise or call?
           G
I wouldn't take that chance
F           C          G
You got the dead man's hand


[Verse 2]

        D
The light in the tunnel
   C                   G
Is gonna be a rumbling train
D
Loaded full of trouble
    C                      G
The next stop has got your name
          C
You got a one-way ticket on a dead end track
    G
You take it on down the line
  C
Before you knew what hit ya you were flat on your back
        D
But you thought that you were doing alright


[Chorus 2]

F C

             G                F C
You got your back to the wall
           G              F C
Should you raise or call?
           G
I wouldn't take that chance
F           C          G
You got the dead man's hand

[Bridge]

F              C
You stay on top to get a roll
F                       D
You never stop till you lose it all
F                 C
Yeah, you were hot but now you're cold
D
Watch another one take the fall


[Interlude]

[Verse 3]

          D
You gonna keep on talking
C                    G
Hoping you can justify
          D
Tell your story when you're walking
          C                       G
Cause the wishing well is running dry
            C
You getting highs and lows
                          G
And the lady knows you're playing for your life
         C
You're a dead man holding aces and eights
         D
And your luck's fun out this time



[Chorus 3]

F C

             G                F C
You got your back to the wall
           G              F C
Should you raise or call?
           G
I wouldn't take that chance
F           C          G    F  C
You got the dead man's hand
             G                F C
You got your back to the wall
           G              F C
Should you raise or call?
           G
I wouldn't take that chance
F           C          G
You got the dead man's hand
