[Verse]

B/F#

Love of mine

        G#m/D#

someday you will die,

            E

but I'll be close behind;

             B            F#

I'll follow you into the dark.

   B/F#

No blinding light

              G#m/D#

or tunnels to gates of white,

               E

just our hands clasped so tight

         B                  F#

waiting for the hint of a spark. 

 

[Chorus]

     G#m               B              E            B    F#/A#

If heaven and hell decide that they both are satisfied,

  G#m           B              F#

illuminate the "no"s on their vacancy signs.

     G#m              B                 D#      G#m     G#m/F#

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

     E          Em          B/F#

then I'll follow you into the dark.

 

[Verse]

   B/F#

In Catholic school,

              G#m/D#

as vicious as Roman rule,

          E

I got my knuckles bruised 

     B        F#

by a lady in black.

      B/F#

And I held my tongue 

       G#m/D#

as she told me "Son, 

            E

fear is the heart of love".

     B          F#

So I never went back.

 

[Chorus]

     G#m               B              E            B    F#/A#

If heaven and hell decide that they both are satisfied,

  G#m           B              F#

illuminate the "no"s on their vacancy signs.

     G#m              B                 D#      G#m     G#m/F#

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

     E          Em          B/F#

then I'll follow you into the dark.

 

[Verse]

B/F#

You and me

                G#m/D#

have seen everything to see

                E

from Bangkok to Calgary, 

        B             F#

and the soles of your shoes

     B/F#

are all worn down.

             G#m/D#

The time for sleep is now

                    E

but it's nothing to cry about  

             B               F#

'cause we'll hold each other soon

       G#m          E

in the blackest of rooms.

 

[Chorus]

     G#m               B              E            B    F#/A#

If heaven and hell decide that they both are satisfied,

  G#m           B              F#

illuminate the "no"s on their vacancy signs.

     G#m              B                 D#      G#m     G#m/F#

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

     E          Em          B       F#/A#  G#m

Then I'll follow you into the dark

     E          Em          B/F#

Then I'll follow you into the dark
