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
GA               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

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
  --->(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
