The Trap Door (Shear) --------------------- Intro1: | \ \ \ Bb ||: C Bb :|| (repeat 7 times) Note: C = 3 beats, Bb = 1 beat guitar solo over above Intro 2: ||: | | | :|| | Verse1: Your enemies guard cornered you in a yard You paid him off and ran You knew he'd understand He's just a workin man () But you think he's a fool just a capitalist tool Who plays the games of life to tie If the tables had been turned tonight There'd be nothin that his money could buy - but soon... Chorus: The trap door gives in under the wicked weight of sin You fall down, down, down farther than you've ever been Yeah, the trap door falls open just as you were smugly hoping That you could cheat and win, the trap door falls in Verse2: So one escape does not a life make the earth floats under your feet You can't trust who you meet Your bravery's a conceit It's no longer suspense it's a fear that makes sense Pullin you through the ground The trap door makes no sound One day just not around - Cause... (Chorus) (Intro2) Verse3: I should have known when I was struck with a stone That you were aiming at the moon That like a gas balloon You'd come falling soon - yeah-eh (solo over chorus chords) (Chorus) (<- lead with "Yeah the trap door...") Coda: That you could cheat and win, the trap door fa-a-a-lls in
