Deck of Cards

Tom: F#

G                         D    
   We all want a piece of paradise
         Bm
Just one time in our life
            A              G
A chance to see the stars
                 D
I’m sitting on a deck of cards
                Bm                             A
I can’t buy you diamonds, but I’ll give you my heart

G                       D
   We’ve been down this road before
              Bm              A 
We were young then, girl, you know it
G                              D
   We tried to make it all end perfect
        Bm                         A
Then we found out it wasn’t really worth it

D                    A
   If you want me to leave
           G               D          E
Baby, I’ll go wherever you want me to go
D                             A
   But if you want a piece of me
                  G             D           E 
I’ll give you the whole, oh the whole night through

G                    D                       Bm              
   Everybody wants a house at the top of the city, at the edge of
    A    
the ocean
G                    D            Bm                   A
   Everybody wants a pretty penny picture, what a nice notion
G                               D                     Bm
   I’m sitting down here on the sidewalk watching the motion pass 
   A
me by
G                                 D                       Bm
   You got your head down in your hands; you’re wondering why all 
    A
the commotion

D                    A
   If you want me to leave
           G               D          E
Baby, I’ll go wherever you want me to go
D                             A
   But if you want a piece of me
                  G             D           E 
I’ll give you the whole, oh the whole night through

Em              Bm                  D
  Are we on the wrong side of the road? I’d tell you, darlin’, if I 
A                             Em
could, but I just don’t know
                  Bm                   D
Are you on the fence? Well, in my defence, when I close my eyes 
A                     G
we’re still dancing

D                    A
   If you want me to leave
           G               D          E
Baby, I’ll go wherever you want me to go
D                             A
   But if you want a piece of me
                  G             D           E 
I’ll give you the whole, oh the whole night through

G                         D
   We all want to hit the jackpot
             Bm
Just a little luck of the draw
                       A
I promise you it’ll be OK
