_ [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

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] _ _
[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
