        Your enemies guard cornered 
you in a yard
             Bb
        You paid him off and ran

        You knew he'd understand
              Eb     Bb     Eb
        He's just a workin man

                Eb            
        If the tables had been 
           Ab
turned tonight
                    Eb             
        There'd be nothin that his 
 Bb          Eb
money could buy - but soon...

Chorus:       C             G     
        The trap door gives in 
        Am               F
under the wicked weight of sin
                  C             G 
        You fall down, down, down 
          C               G
farther than you've ever been
                    C             
        Yeah, the trap door falls 
G             Am               F
open just as you were smugly hoping
                         C      
        That you could cheat and 
            G             C
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
