D A Bm ( Bm_A_G )
They will not remember this song
GA
No matter what we do we'll be wrong
DABm
They will not remember this song
GA
No matter what we do we'll be wrong
Verse (Riff#2)
DABm
I can't seem to see the seal we're breaking, I can't seem to see the seal we broke
GA
I refuse to recognize your views,
DABm
Someone shouted "Everything's for nothing", somebody shouted, "All is lost"
GA
But I can't buy that nonsense too
DABm
Way back when the prophecies began, do you think they really had a master plan
GA
Or were they merely writing fables, stories?
DABm
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
DBmGA
We're going down, down, down to Mephisto's Cafe
DBmGA
Down, down, down to Mephisto's Caf. We're going down !
DBmGA
And the gears will spin and the sinners sin, but at least we'll give them hell
DBmGA
And the righteous few will spit on you, so bid them all farewell
DBmGA
We're going down, down, down to Mephisto's Cafe
D Bm (B_A_G_F#_A~)
We're going down (Right?) (Right!)
Verse (Riff#2)
DABm
So fuck the flocks of sheep that keep amassing masses
GA
Asses being led so far astray
DABm
And I won't claim to believe the things I read, black books or agenda magazine
GA
I'd rather see in shades of gray
Bridge (Same as intro)
GBmF#D
