Riff#1
D A Bm ( Bm_A_G )
They will not remember this song
[G] No matter what we do we'll be wr[A]ong
They will n[D]ot reme[A]mber this s[Bm]ong
[G] No matter what we do we'll be w[A]rong
Verse (Riff#2)
[D]I can't seem to s[A]ee the seal we're b[Bm]reaking, I can't seem to see the seal we broke
[G]I refuse to recognize your [A]views,
[D]Someone shouted "[A]Everything's for [Bm]nothing", somebody shouted, "All is lost"
[G]But I can't buy that nonsense [A]too
[D] Way back when the [A]prophecies began,[Bm] do you think they really had a master plan
[G] Or were they merely writing f[A]ables, stories?
[D] I don't know but it h[A]as occurred to me[Bm], the punishment that they threaten constantly
[G] It's only real if they could j[A]ust convince me[(A)]
We're going do[D]wn, down, d[Bm]own to Meph[G]isto's Ca[A]fe
Do[D]wn, down, d[Bm]own to Meph[G]isto's Ca[A]fé. We're going down !
[D]And the gears will spin and the s[Bm]inners sin, but at le[G]ast we'll give them h[A]ell
And the r[D]ighteous few will sp[Bm]it on you, so b[G]id them all fa[A]rewell
We're going do[D]wn, down, d[Bm]own to Meph[G]isto's Ca[A]fe
D Bm (B_A_G_F#_A~)
We're going down (Right?) (Right!)
Verse (Riff#2)
So fu[D]ck the flo[A]cks of s[Bm]heep that keep amassing masses
[G]Asses being led so far ast[A]ray
[D]And I won't claim to b[A]elieve the things I read[Bm], black books or agenda magazine
[G] I'd rather see in shades of g[A]ray
Bridge (Same as intro)
[G] If I were y[Bm]ou,[F#] I would t[D]ake this as a sign
[G] Believe it's t[Bm]rue,[F#] we were [D]never meant to fly
--->(Acapella)or same the end of the intro part (see above)
