Biography:
The Menzingers originally formed after the dissolution of Bob And The Sagets, a band local to the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area of Pennsylvania. With the addition of Greg Barnett the band recorded a demo/self-released album "A Lesson In The Abuse Of Information Technology" in 2006.
Shortly thereafter they were signed by Go-Kart Records and re-recorded the songs from "A Lesson" and re-released their album with the addition of some new tracks.

that lead part over the chorus.

VERSE:
C G C
Amy was a waitress at The Fire Street Grill
Am G C F
Up route 611 she was slaving for the pill
C G C
Oxy's got her pupils pinned up, a junkie centerfold
Am G C F
With grey hairs and a death wish, she was 22 years old
F G
Had it all, took the fall
F G
Had it all, took the fall
VERSE:
C G C
Specialist Jeg, a much more honest man than you
Am G C F
Came back from the desert where he never found the truth
C G C
Now he screeches tires, fills his head with alcohol
Am G C F
While the morbid brown faces hang like portraits on the wall
F G
Had it all, took the fall
F G
Had it all, took 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 G C
McTiernan was a good ol' boy, he cheated and he skimmed
Am G C F
"A favor for a favor, it can't be called a sin"
C G C
Some may see it different, and some don't see at all
Am G C
F
When the papers started calling he closed his eyes and took the fall
F G
Had it all, took the fall
F G
Had it all, took the fall
BRIDGE:
C G C
Now we're standing on the ledge and we're looking at the ground
Am G C F
I feel my body breaking on the asphalt, hear the sound
C G C
Red and blue lights screaming saying, "Step up off that ledge"
Am G C F
So we wrap our hearts up in our heads and take the fall instead
F G
Had it all, took the fall
F G
Had it all, took 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
