Up route 611 she was slaving for the pill

Oxy's got her pupils pinned up, a junkie centerfold

Specialist Jeg, a much more honest man than you
A minorAm G+G C majorC FF
Came back from the desert where he never found the truth
C majorC G+G C majorC
Now he screeches tires, fills his head with alcohol
A minorAm G+G C majorC FF
While the morbid brown faces hang like portraits on the wall
FF G+G
Had it all, took the fall
FF G+G
Had it all, took the fall
CHORUS: (w/ intro riff)

Something happened on the way to hell,

The new guard they took my sister

The old guard they took my brother away
C majorC
Something happened on the way to hell,
FF
The same greed it took our parents
C majorC
Something happened on the way to hell,
FF
The west wall it took us with it

A minorAm G+G C majorC

When the papers started calling he closed his eyes and took the fall

Had it all, took the fall

Had it all, took the fall
BRIDGE:

Now we're standing on the ledge and we're looking at the ground
A minorAm G+G C majorC FF
I feel my body breaking on the asphalt, hear the sound
C majorC G+G C majorC
Red and blue lights screaming saying, "Step up off that ledge"
A minorAm G+G C majorC FF
So we wrap our hearts up in our heads and take the fall instead
FF G+G
Had it all, took the fall
FF G+G
Had it all, took the fall

The same greed it took our parents
C majorC
Something happened on the way to hell,
FF
The west wall it took us with it
(n.c.)
Something happened on the way to hell,
