D A Bm ( Bm_A_G )
They will not remember this song
G No matter what we do we'll be wrAong
They will nDot remeAmber this sBmong
G No matter what we do we'll be wArong
Verse (Riff#2)
DI can't seem to sAee the seal we're bBmreaking, I can't seem to see the seal we broke
GI refuse to recognize your Aviews,
DSomeone shouted &Aquot;Everything'sBm for nothing", somebody shouted, "All is lost"
GBut I can't buy that nonsense Atoo
D Way back when the Aprophecies began,Bm do you think they really had a master plan
G Or were they merely writing fAables, stories?
D I don't know but it hAas occurred to meBm, the punishment that they threaten constantly
G A (A)
It's only real if they could just convince me
We're going doDwn, down, dBmown to MephGisto's CaAfe
DoDwn, down, dBmown to MephGisto's CaAfé. We're going down !
DAnd the gears will spin and the sBminners sin, but at leGast we'll give them hAell
And the rDighteous few will spBmit on you, so bGid them all faArewell
We're going doDwn, down, dBmown to MephGisto's CaAfe
D Bm (B_A_G_F#_A~)
We're going down (Right?) (Right!)
Verse (Riff#2)
So fuDck the floAcks of sBmheep that keep amassing masses
GAsses being led so far astAray
DAnd I won't claim to bAelieve the things I readBm, black books or agenda magazine
G I'd rather see in shades of gAray
Bridge (Same as intro)
G If I were yBmou,F# I would tDake this as a sign
G Believe it's tBmrue,F# we were Dnever 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
We're going doDwn, down, dBmown to MephGisto's CaAfe
DoDwn, down, dBmown to MephGisto's CaAfé. We're going down !
DAnd the gears will spin and the sBminners sin, but at leGast we'll give them hAell
And the rDighteous few will spBmit on you, so bGid them all faArewell
We're going doDwn, down, dBmown to MephGisto's CaAfe

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

And you said
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
