[Verse]

G/D

Love of mine

        Em/B

someday you will die,

            C

but I'll be close behind;

             G            D

I'll follow you into the dark.

   G/D

No blinding light

              Em/B

or tunnels to gates of white,

               C

just our hands clasped so tight

         G                  D

waiting for the hint of a spark. 

 

[Chorus]

     Em               G              C            G    D/F#

If heaven and hell decide that they both are satisfied,

  Em           G              D

illuminate the "no"s on their vacancy signs.

     Em              G                 B      Em     Em/D

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

     C          Cm          G/D

then I'll follow you into the dark.

 

[Verse]

   G/D

In Catholic school,

              Em/B

as vicious as Roman rule,

          C

I got my knuckles bruised 

     G        D

by a lady in black.

      G/D

And I held my tongue 

       Em/B

as she told me "Son, 

            C

fear is the heart of love".

     G          D

So I never went back.

 

[Chorus]

     Em               G              C            G    D/F#

If heaven and hell decide that they both are satisfied,

  Em           G              D

illuminate the "no"s on their vacancy signs.

     Em              G                 B      Em     Em/D

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

     C          Cm          G/D

then I'll follow you into the dark.

 

[Verse]

G/D

You and me

                Em/B

have seen everything to see

                C

from Bangkok to Calgary, 

        G             D

and the soles of your shoes

     G/D

are all worn down.

             Em/B

The time for sleep is now

                    C

but it's nothing to cry about  

             G               D

'cause we'll hold each other soon

       Em          C

in the blackest of rooms.

 

[Chorus]

     Em               G              C            G    D/F#

If heaven and hell decide that they both are satisfied,

  Em           G              D

illuminate the "no"s on their vacancy signs.

     Em              G                 B      Em     Em/D

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

     C          Cm          G       D/F#  Em

Then I'll follow you into the dark

     C          Cm          G/D

Then I'll follow you into the dark
