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
