VERSE:
C5                         G5    C5
Amy was a waitress at The Fire Street Grill
A5        G5          C5               F5
Up route 611 she was slaving for the pill
C5                                 G5      C5
Oxy's got her pupils pinned up, a junkie centerfold
          A5          G5                   C5        F5
With grey hairs and a death wish, she was 22 years old

       F5         G5
Had it all, took the fall
       F5         G5
Had it all, took the fall


VERSE:
C5                           G5               C5
Specialist Jeg, a much more honest man than you
A5                 G5               C5               F5
Came back from the desert where he never found the truth
C5                                 G5             C5
Now he screeches tires, fills his head with alcohol
             A5        G5               C5                F5
While the morbid brown faces hang like portraits on the wall

       F5         G5
Had it all, took the fall
       F5         G5
Had it all, took the fall


CHORUS: (w/ intro riff)
C5
Something happened on the way to hell,
F5
The new guard they took my sister
C5
Something happened on the way to hell,
F5
The old guard they took my brother away
C5
Something happened on the way to hell,
F5
The same greed it took our parents
C5
Something happened on the way to hell,
F5
The west wall it took us with it


VERSE:
C5                                G5              C5
McTiernan was a good ol' boy, he cheated and he skimmed
A5             G5                  C5         F5
"A favor for a favor, it can't be called a sin"
C5                              G5                 C5
Some may see it different, and some don't see at all
         A5             G5                     C5               
  F5
When the papers started calling he closed his eyes and took the fall

       F5         G5
Had it all, took the fall
       F5         G5
Had it all, took the fall


BRIDGE:
C5                                         G5              C5
Now we're standing on the ledge and we're looking at the ground
  A5           G5               C5                 F5
I feel my body breaking on the asphalt, hear the sound
C5                                      G5                C5
Red and blue lights screaming saying, "Step up off that ledge"
      A5                    G5             C5               F5
So we wrap our hearts up in our heads and take the fall instead

       F5         G5
Had it all, took the fall
       F5         G5
Had it all, took the fall


CHORUS: (w/ intro riff)
C5
Something happened on the way to hell,
F5
The new guard they took my sister
C5
Something happened on the way to hell,
F5
The old guard they took my brother away
C5
Something happened on the way to hell,
F5
The same greed it took our parents
C5
Something happened on the way to hell,
F5
The west wall it took us with it

(n.c.)
Something happened on the way to hell,
The west wall it took us with it
