[Verse]
       Am              G
Broken bone and liar's lead
           D/F#               G
Caught off guard and left for dead
           A              G               D/F#   C
Luck keeps turning as the light begins to dull

       Am                G
And by healing hands I'm saved
       D/F#            F
Pulled from my shallow grave
      Am            G                 D/F#   C
I can feel reprisal aching through my skull

       Am                G
Set my sights on shining spires
    D/F#                G
Set out on the highways tired
       A                G              D/F#   C
On the desert sands and ruined roads I roam

    Am                G
And this old lonesome road
      D/F#              F
Shall bring me what I'm owed
          Am             G                  D/F#   C
These new empires on old stones shall be my home

                      I find a flag to fly


[Chorus]
Am          F               G
 To tip the odds and rig the game (deal another hand and play)
Am     F               G     E
 Every card a shift of circumstance
Am         F                 G
 Let every bettor stake their claim (deal another hand and play)
Am         F                 B       D
 Stack the deck, I'm letting nothing fall to chance

[Instrumental]
Em C B (x2)

[Bridge]
Em        C          B
 Atop the glistening tower

Watching the struggles for power
Em              C
 The house sees every deal
    B       D
Within this town

Am          F             E
 Behind the gangs and the walls

Keeping a close eye on all
Am           F             E    G
 Old secrets buried in the underground

[Chorus]
Am          F               G
 To tip the odds and rig the game (deal another hand and play)
Am     F               G     E
 Every card a shift of circumstance
Am         F                 G
 Let every bettor stake their claim (deal another hand and play)
Am         F                 B       E
 Stack the deck, I'm letting nothing fall to chance

[Bridge]
Am
Lumbering across the west
C
Ruined treasures repossessed
G                          Am
Resurrect the old soul of America

Am
Laws and labour, structures tight
C
Memories of faded might
G                          Am
Resurrect the old soul of America

    A    C
And oh
    G                             A
The bear is roving out across the west
    A    C
And oh
    G                             A      Am
The bear is roving out across the west

Am G    Bb
Shadows loom
Am  G  Bb
All go soon to war

Scour the east prowl upon the borders
A5            G5 A5 Bb5 A5
Come to crush and overrun

A5               C5    C5  Bb5 A5 G5
Brutal the bull, gouge out the weak
A5               D5 E5  E5
Tongue of tyrant at the core
A5                 C5     C5   Bb5 A5 G5
Force of ancients, strike down the meek

Raise the flags, the banners of...

Am          F               G
 So tip the odds and rig the game (deal another hand and play)

[Verse]
          Am                       G
Scattered strays who've lost their meaning
       D/F#               G
Brotherhoods who hide and horde
     Am               G
Followers of help and healing
      D/F#            C
The addicted lost and scorned

      Am              G
The secluded rumbling thunder
        D/F#            F
And the spite of prison bars
        Am               G
And the vengeful eyes of wells run dry
     D/F#      C
That watch me afar

[Outro]
A            G                    D/F#            G
 Someday the change will come and wash the doubt away
A                 G                D/F#           C
 The heart of the desert will beat harder on this day

A            G                    D/F#            F
 Someday the change will come and wash the doubt away
A                 G                D/F#           C
 The heart of the desert will beat harder on this day
