           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

[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

     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)

  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 [Chorus]

 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
