        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...

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
