VERSE:
[C]Amy was a waitress at The [G]Fire [C]Street Grill
[Am]Up route 6[G]11 she was [C]slaving for the [F]pill
[C]Oxy's got her pupils pinned up, a [G]junkie [C]centerfold
With grey [Am]hairs and a [G]death wish, she was [C]22 years [F]old
Had it [F]all, took [G]the fall
Had it [F]all, took [G]the fall
VERSE:
[C]Specialist Jeg, a much more [G]honest man than [C]you
[Am]Came back from the [G]desert where he [C]never found the [F]truth
[C]Now he screeches tires, fills his [G]head with alco[C]hol
While the mor[Am]bid brown [G]faces hang like [C]portraits on the [F]wall
Had it [F]all, took [G]the fall
Had it [F]all, took [G]the fall
CHORUS: (w/ intro riff)
[C]Something happened on the way to hell,
[F]The new guard they took my sister
[C]Something happened on the way to hell,
[F]The old guard they took my brother away
[C]Something happened on the way to hell,
[F]The same greed it took our parents
[C]Something happened on the way to hell,
[F]The west wall it took us with it
VERSE:
[C]McTiernan was a good ol' boy, he [G]cheated and he [C]skimmed
[Am]"A favor for a [G]favor, it can't be [C]called a s[F]in"
[C]Some may see it different, and [G]some don't see at [C]all
[Am] [G] [C]
Wh[F]en the papers started calling he closed his eyes and took the fall
Had it [F]all, took [G]the fall
Had it [F]all, took [G]the fall
BRIDGE:
[C]Now we're standing on the ledge and we're [G]looking at the [C]ground
I [Am]feel my body [G]breaking on the [C]asphalt, hear the [F]sound
[C]Red and blue lights screaming saying, "[G]Step up off that [C]ledge"
So we [Am]wrap our hearts up in [G]our heads and [C]take the fall in[F]stead
Had it [F]all, took [G]the fall
Had it [F]all, took [G]the fall
CHORUS: (w/ intro riff)
[C]Something happened on the way to hell,
[F]The new guard they took my sister
[C]Something happened on the way to hell,
[F]The old guard they took my brother away
[C]Something happened on the way to hell,
[F]The same greed it took our parents
[C]Something happened on the way to hell,
[F]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
