Verse One:

C (2)                                 Am (2)

Love of mine, someday you will die

                 F (2)                            C                     G

But I'll be close behind, I'll follow you into the dark

        C (2)                                    Am (2)

No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white

                          F (2)                           C                            G  

Just our hands clasped so tight waiting for the hint of a spark

 

 

Chorus:

    Am                           C                F                 C (½)  C/B (½)

If heaven and hell decide that they both are satisfied

   Am                 C                   G (2)

Illuminate the "no's", on their vacancy signs

      Am                  C                             E          Am (½) Am/G (½)

If there's no one beside you, when your soul embarks

           F           Fm                 C (2)

Then I'll follow you into the dark

 

Verse Two:

       C (2)                                     Am (2)

And Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule

                 F (2)                        C                G  

I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black

           C (2)                              Am (2)

And I held my tongue as she told me, "Son, fear is the

 F (2)                        C                   G  

heart of love."  So I never went back

 

Chorus

 

Verse Three:

   C (2)                                  Am (2)

You and me have seen everything to see

                             F (2)                C                          G  

From Bangkok to Calgary and the soles of your shoes

      C (2)                                    Am (2)

Are all worn down, the time for sleep is now

                              F (2)                          C                       G  

But it's nothing to cry about 'cause we'll hold each other soon,

           Am            F (4)

in the blackest of rooms

 

Last Chorus:

    Am                           C                F                 C (½)  C/B (½)

If heaven and hell decide that they both are satisfied

   Am                 C                   G (2)

Illuminate the "no's", on their vacancy signs

      Am                  C                             E          Am (½) Am/G (½)

If there's no one beside you, when your soul embarks

           F           Fm                 C (½)  C/B (½)   Am

Then I'll follow you into the dark

           F (hold)   Fm (hold)            C (hold)

Then I'll follow you into the dark
