[G] _ _ If I [Bm] were you, _ [F#] _
_ I [D] would take this as [G] a sign, believe [Bm] it's true
[F#] _ _ We were [D] never [G] meant to fly
I [Bm] owe you, [F#] I know you more [D] than anyone [G] alive
And I [Bm] will not [A] let go
_ _ _ [D] _ _
[A] _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _

_ _ [Bm] _ _ They [G] _ _
_ _ [A] _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ [A] _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ [D] will not [A] remember [Bm] this song
No matter what we do we'll [A] be wrong
[D] They will not [A] remember [Bm] this _ [D] song
[G] [Bm] No matter what we do we'll [A] be [D] wrong
_ I [F#m] can't seem to see the [Bm] deal we're breaking
I can't seem to see the deal we [A] broke
I refuse to recognize your guilt
_ [D] Someone [A] shouted [Bm] everything's for nothing
Somebody shouted [E] all is lost
I can't buy that [A] nonsense, no
_ [D] Way [A] back when the prophecy [Bm] began
Do you think it really [G] had a master plan?
Or were they [A] merely writing fable [D] stories?
I [A] don't know but it has occurred [Bm] to me
The punishment and the threat is [G] god's delivery
[A] It's only real effect, it just convinced me
_ _ _ _ _ [D] We're going down, down, down
Through Memphis, South California
_ Down, down, down
Through Memphis, South California
And the gates will close in December
We will get back, as the righteous few
Will find [G] you, [D] so make them all pay
We're going down, [Bm] down, down
Through Memphis, [D] South California _ [Bm] Right, _ _ [A] right
It's all but a [Bm] flush
A sheet that we've unmasked
[G] Massive taxes being left [A] far astray
_ [D] And I won't [A] beg to believe
The [Bm] things I read, like books or agenda [G] magazines
I'd rather see you [A] shave the bread
Hey, hey, [G] hey
[D] If I were you
[F#] [D] I would take this [G] as a sign
[Bm] Believe it's [F#] true
[D] We were never [G] meant to fly
And I knew you when you were [N] you
Before they twisted all your views
Before you came [A] undone
[D] _ We're going down, [Bm] down, down
Through Memphis, South California
Down, down, down
Through Memphis, [A] South California
[D] And the gates will close in December
We will get back, as the righteous few
Will find you, so make them all pay
We're going [F#m] down, [Bm] down, down
Through Memphis, [A] South California
[D] _ [Bm] Right, right
[A] _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ [Bm] _ Now _ [G] _ _

_ _ [Bm] _ _ _ [A] _ [G] _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ [A] _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ everybody's telling tall tales
[Em] _
And I [F#m] don't know who to believe
[D] If _ your father really loves you, Mom
[Em] What [F#m] about the other [A] family?
_ _ [D] _ _
[A] Finally, [B] I met a man with kindness [G] in his eyes
With fire [A] in his [D] heart
_ He [A] said you'll never [Bm] have to choose [Am] a [G] side
It's rewarding, but [D] all the road is hard
They [A] broke [Bm] him wide open
Like an ant that a crook [G] has holding _ [A] everything _ inside
_ [D] _
You can play the [Bm] role of rebel
[G] Just so you know you're wrong [D] from your [A] right
_ [D] _
I remember [A] it was years ago
You [F#] know I still [G] count the days
_ [D] You and I [A] had plotted ways to go
[F#] I never once heard you [G] complain
_ And you [D] said
_ _ Don't _ _ _ [F#] _
_ _ _ [Em] _ [G] _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
[F#m] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
[A] _ [Bm] crack
Cause you might [Em] not make it [A] [D] back
And if you [A] do, you'll be [Bm] alone
And you [Em] can't live [A] like that
[D] Well I [A] know when I'm wrong
[Bm] And I sure as [Em] hell [A] ain't wrong this time
_ _ _ _ [Bm] We're going down, down, down
We must be stuck, yeah babe
Down, down, down
We must be [A] stuck, [D] yeah babe
I'm a game [Bm] of business
But at least [D] we'll get the love
And [E] the righteous [Bm] feel a billion years
Hoping more of that while [D] we're going down
[Bm] Down, down, down
We [A] must be stuck, yeah babe
[D] We're going [B] down Right, right
[A] _ _ _ [D] _ _ [G#] _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [N] _ _ _
