Riff#1
           D      A          Bm   ( Bm_A_G )
They will not remember this song
G                                 A
  No matter what we do we'll be wrong
           D      A          Bm
They will not remember this song
G                               A
 No matter what we do we'll be wrong


Verse (Riff#2)
D                A                  Bm
I can't seem to see the seal we're breaking, I can't seem to see the seal we broke
G                          A
I refuse to recognize your views,
D                A                Bm
Someone shouted "Everything's for nothing", somebody shouted, "All is lost"
G                             A
But I can't buy that nonsense too
D                  A                Bm
 Way back when the prophecies began, do you think they really had a master plan
G                             A
 Or were they merely writing fables, stories?
D                     A                Bm
 I don't know but it has occurred to me, the punishment that they threaten constantly
G                              A               (A)
 It's only real if they could just convince me

              D          Bm         G        A
We're going down, down, down to Mephisto's Cafe
  D          Bm         G        A
Down, down, down to Mephisto's Café. We're going down !
D                                Bm                   G                    A
And the gears will spin and the sinners sin, but at least we'll give them hell
         D                   Bm             G             A
And the righteous few will spit on you, so bid them all farewell
              D          Bm         G        A
We're going down, down, down to Mephisto's Cafe

We're going down (Right?)  (Right!)


Verse (Riff#2)
     D         A       Bm
So fuck the flocks of sheep that keep amassing masses
G                         A
Asses being led so far astray
D                     A                       Bm
And I won't claim to believe the things I read, black books or agenda magazine
G                             A
 I'd rather see in shades of gray


Bridge (Same as intro)
G            Bm F#        D
  If I were you, I would take this as a sign
G               Bm  F#        D
  Believe it's true,  we were never meant to fly
E|--->(| Acapella)or same  the end of the intro part (see above)<--- 

And I knew you when you were you

Before they twisted all your views

Before you came unglued

And the gears will spin and the sinners sin, but at least we'll give them hell
         D                   Bm             G             A
And the righteous few will spit on you, so bid them all farewell
              D          Bm         G        A
We're going down, down, down to Mephisto's Cafe
             D           Bm          B_A_G_F#_A~
We're going down (Right?)  (Right!)

 Now everybody's telling taller tales
                   G_G#_A
And I don't know who to believe
   D           A            Bm           Bm_A_G
Ok, if your father really loves you more
                G_G#_A
What about the other families?


D      A    Bm                Bm_A_G                  G_G#_A
 Finally, I met a man with kindness in his eyes and fire in his heart
D                A              Bm          Bm_A_G
 He said you'll never have to choose a side
                   G_G#_A
It's rewarding but oh, the road is hard....


D               A           Bm
 They broke him   wide open
                 Bm_A_G               G_G#_A
Like a dam and a cork that's holding everything inside
D          A               Bm
 You can play the role of rebel
   Bm_A_G             G_G#_A
Just be sure to know your wrong from your right


Bridge
D                   A
 I remember it was years ago
         F#                 G
You know I still count the days
D                       A
 You and I had quite a ways to go
         F#                 G
I never once heard you complain

And you said
D A F# G
D A F# G~

D        A                  Bm                 G_A
 Don't crack, because you might not make it back
    D                  A                Bm                    G_A
And if you do you will be alone and you    can't live like that
         D             A          Bm                  G_A       D   A   B_A_G_F#_A
Well I know when I'm wrong and I sure as hell ain't wrong this time

And the gears will spin and the sinners sin, but at least we'll give them hell
         D                   Bm             G             A
And the righteous few will spit on you, so bid them all farewell
