Fm          G#       D#      Fm
Sometimes I walk mysterious places
                  G#      D#
Hear voices that talk without a word to say
Fm           G#       D#        Fm
Sometimes I hear the echoes of laughter
                     G#        D#          Fm
In the twilight of affairs and other tragedies

Fm           G#    D#               Fm
A half-moon away, way too close to heaven
             G#        D#
She had the look, but no morality
     G#         Fm        G#  D#         Fm
Sometimes it's easy to forget only for a moment
                           G#     D#
But there are nights you regret eternally
A#m              Fm
Whatever frozen hearts can do
      C#           D#
Will melt the ice away

Chorus:
        Fm             C#
How you know what it's like
          D#                    Fm
When good luck has changed the sides
                         C#          D#
And no sun shines in the dark and no angels
               Fm             C#
Ever hear your prayers in the night
           D#                 Fm
When your fears come up your spine
                             C#                  D#
When your life turns upside down it breaks your heart
      C#                            C
When you get crushed in a house of cards
      Fm
House of cards

It ́s so hard to find a way when life is in pieces
And the taste of a kiss is so bittersweet
Sometimes it's easy to forget only for a moment
But the man who'll rise up from the ashes is no one else but me
I'm standing in a waterfall
To wash the lies away

Chorus:
How you know what it's like
When good luck has changed the sides
And no sun shines in the dark and no angels
Ever hear your prayers in the night
When your fears come up your spine
When your life turns upside down it
breaks your heart
House of cards

   A#m          Fm
Whatever frozen hearts can do
     C#           D#
Will melt the ice away

Chorus:
How you know what it's like
When good luck has changed the sides
And no sun shines in the dark and no angels
Ever hear your prayers in the night
When your fears come up your spine
When your life turns upside down and there is no one
When you get crushed in a house of cards
House of cards
