Am C F C G/B
Am C G
Am C E Am Am/G F Fm C/G
[Verse]
C/G
Love of mine
Am/E
someday you will die,
F
but I'll be close behind;
C G
I'll follow you into the dark.
C/G
No blinding light
Am/E
or tunnels to gates of white,
F
just our hands clasped so tight
C G
waiting for the hint of a spark.
[Chorus]
Am C F C G/B
If heaven and hell decide that they both are satisfied,
Am C G
illuminate the "no"s on their vacancy signs.
Am C E Am Am/G
If there's no one beside you when your soul embarks
F Fm C/G
then I'll follow you into the dark.
[Verse]
C/G
In Catholic school,
Am/E
as vicious as Roman rule,
F
I got my knuckles bruised
C G
by a lady in black.
C/G
And I held my tongue
Am/E
as she told me "Son,
F
fear is the heart of love".
C G
So I never went back.
[Chorus]
Am C F C G/B
If heaven and hell decide that they both are satisfied,
Am C G
illuminate the "no"s on their vacancy signs.
Am C E Am Am/G
If there's no one beside you when your soul embarks
F Fm C/G
then I'll follow you into the dark.
[Verse]
C/G
You and me
Am/E
have seen everything to see
F
from Bangkok to Calgary,
C G
and the soles of your shoes
C/G
are all worn down.
Am/E
The time for sleep is now
F
but it's nothing to cry about
C G
'cause we'll hold each other soon
Am F
in the blackest of rooms.
[Chorus]
Am C F C G/B
If heaven and hell decide that they both are satisfied,
Am C G
illuminate the "no"s on their vacancy signs.
Am C E Am Am/G
If there's no one beside you when your soul embarks
F Fm C G/B Am
Then I'll follow you into the dark
F Fm C/G
Then I'll follow you into the dark
