[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

[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

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.

House of cards, just blow away
