[Verse 1]
A C#m/G#
He promised her a homeplace for
F#m
the family
D A
A rock that they could build
E
their lives upon
D
He promised they’d entwine
A E/G# F#m
their lives forever

But, every time she reaches

[Verse 2]
A C#m/G#
There’s an empty bed waitin’

Tonight she’s puttin’ out the

D
again, she leaves a candle in
A E/G# F#m
the window

Without him this house is not a

Built by hand, in better days.

House of cards, just blow away
[Verse 3]
A C#m/G#
It's a shame she wasn’t born to

She needs someone there that

she can lean on

He sow the seed, but never set

down roots
[Chorus]
A D
House of cards, it was all a
A
house of cards,

Built by hand, in better days.

barely see him
E A
House of cards, just blow away
[Instrumental]

House of cards, it was all a

Built by hand, in better days.
A
House of cards, though? she can

House of cards, just blow away

House of cards, it was all a
A
house of cards,
E A
Built by hand, in better days.
