[intro]

G Gsus G Gsus G Gsus G Gsus
I grew up in a house like this, we knew the groan of every stair
G Gsus G Gsus G Gsus G Gsus
All the walls seemed to listen in, all the years seemed to take up air
C(9) C(9) D G/B C(9) C(9) D G/B
When you dreamed it was of the wind blowing cold and hard
C(9) C(9) D G/B Am7 Am7 D D D D
In those dreams you thought you lived in a house of cards

G Gsus G Gsus
[instrumental]

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 C C C D D G G/F
And now I feel the wind about to blow, and baby I`m so scared
Em Em Bm7 Bm7
You`re repeating the past instead of letting it go
Bm7 Am7 G G
(go) And I don`t wanna go back there

C(9) C(9) D G/B C(9) C(9) D G/B C(9) C(9) D G/B Am7 Am7 D D
[guitar solo]
C(9) C(9) D G/B C(9) C(9) D G/B C(9) C(9) D G/B Am7 Am7 D D D D
[guitar solo]
G Gsus G Gsus G Gsus G Gsus
[instrumental]

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 Gsus G Gsus G Gsus G Gsus
[repeat and fade]
