D5 A5 B5 ( Bm_A_G5 )

Verse (Riff#2)
D5 A5 B5
I can't seem to see the seal we're breaking, I can't seem to see the seal we broke
G5 A5
I refuse to recognize your views,
D5 A5 B5
Someone shouted "Everything's for nothing", somebody shouted, "All is lost"
G5 A5
But I can't buy that nonsense too
D5 A5 B5
Way back when the prophecies began, do you think they really had a master plan
G5 A5
Or were they merely writing fables, stories?
D5 A5 B5
I don't know but it has occurred to me, the punishment that they threaten constantly
G5 A5 ( A5 )
It's only real if they could just convince me
D5 B5 G5 A5
We're going down, down, down to Mephisto's Cafe
D5 B5 G5 A5
Down, down, down to Mephisto's Caf?. We're going down !
D5 B5 G5 A5
And the gears will spin and the sinners sin, but at least we'll give them hell
D5 B5 G5 A5
And the righteous few will spit on you, so bid them all farewell
D5 B5 G5 A5
We're going down, down, down to Mephisto's Cafe
D5 B5 ( B_A_G_F#_A~)
We're going down (Right?) (Right!)
Verse (Riff#2)
D5 A5 B5
So fuck the flocks of sheep that keep amassing masses
G5 A5
Asses being led so far astray
D5 A5 B5
And I won't claim to believe the things I read, black books or agenda magazine
G5 A5
I'd rather see in shades of gray
Bridge (Same as intro)
G5 B5 F#5 D5
If I were you, I would take this as a sign
G5 B5 F#5 D5
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
D5 B5 G5 A5
We're going down, down, down to Mephisto's Cafe
D5 B5 G5 A5
Down, down, down to Mephisto's Caf?. We're going down !
D5 B5 G5 A5
And the gears will spin and the sinners sin, but at least we'll give them hell
D5 B5 G5 A5
And the righteous few will spit on you, so bid them all farewell
D5 B5 G5 A5
We're going down, down, down to Mephisto's Cafe
D5 B5 B_A_G_F#_A~
We're going down (Right?) (Right!)

(Riff#1) until bridge
D5 A5 B5 Bm_A_G5
Now everybody's telling taller tales
G_Ab_A5
And I don't know who to believe
D5 A5 B5 Bm_A_G5
Ok, if your father really loves you more
G_Ab_A5
What about the other families?
D5 A5 B5 Bm_A_G5 G_Ab_A5
Finally, I met a man with kindness in his eyes and fire in his heart
D5 A5 B5 Bm_A_G5
He said you'll never have to choose a side
G_Ab_A5
It's rewarding but oh, the road is hard....
D5 A5 B5
They broke him wide open
Bm_A_G5 G_Ab_A5
Like a dam and a cork that's holding everything inside
D5 A5 B5
You can play the role of rebel
Bm_A_G5 G_Ab_A5
Just be sure to know your wrong from your right
Bridge
D5 A5
I remember it was years ago
F#5 G5
You know I still count the days
D5 A5
You and I had quite a ways to go
F#5 G5
I never once heard you complain
And you said
D5 A5 F#5 G5
D5 A5 F#5 G~
D5 A5 B5 G_A5
Don't crack, because you might not make it back
D5 A5 B5 G_A5
And if you do you will be alone and you can't live like that
D5 A5 B5 G_A5 D5 A5 B_A_G_F#_A5
Well I know when I'm wrong and I sure as hell ain't wrong this time
Chorus
D5 B5 G5 A5

And the righteous few will spit on you, so bid them all farewell
D5 B5 G5 A5
We're going down, down, down to Mephisto's Cafe
D5 B5 B_A_G_F#_A~ D5
We're going down (Right?) (Right!)
