  Verse1:	Eb

  	Your enemies guard cornered you in a yard

  	     Bb

  	You paid him off and ran

  	      Eb	     Ab

  	You knew he'd understand

  	      Eb     Bb     Eb

  	He's just a workin man

  	(Eb)

  	But you think he's a fool just a capitalist tool

  	      Bb

  	Who plays the games of life to tie

  	        Eb                       Ab

  	If the tables had been turned tonight

                      Eb              Bb          Eb

  	There'd be nothin that his money could buy - but soon...

  

  Chorus:       C             G             Am               F

  	The trap door gives in under the wicked weight of sin

                    C             G           C               G

  	You fall down, down, down farther than you've ever been

                      C             G             Am               F

  	Yeah, the trap door falls open just as you were smugly hoping

  	                 C                  G             C

  	That you could cheat and win, the trap door falls in

  

  Verse2:    Eb                                  Bb

  	So one escape does not a life make the earth floats under your feet

               Eb                  Ab 

  	You can't trust who you meet 

  	       Eb      Bb    Eb

  	Your bravery's a conceit

                   Eb

  	It's no longer suspense it's a fear that makes sense

           Bb

  	Pullin you through the ground

                Eb                Ab

  	The trap door makes no sound

               Eb       Bb     Eb

  	One day just not around - Cause...

  

  			(Chorus)

  			(Intro2)

  

  Verse3: Eb

  	I should have known when I was struck with a stone

                        Bb

  	That you were aiming at the moon

                Eb            Ab

  	That like a gas balloon

           Eb         Bb       Eb

  	You'd come falling soon - yeah-eh

  

  		(solo over chorus chords)

  		(Chorus) (<- lead with "Yeah the trap door...")

  

  Coda:	F              C                    G        Ab  Bb    C

  	That you could cheat and win, the trap door fa-a-a-lls in
