1st Verse:

F
Love of mine
        Dm
someday you will die,
            Bb 
but I'll be close behind;
             F            C
I'll follow you into the dark.

   F
No blinding light
              Dm
or tunnels to gates of white,
               Bb
just our hands clasped so tight
         F                  C
waiting for the hint of a spark. 


Chorus: 
     
     Dm              F              Bb             F          
If heaven and hell decide that they both are satisfied,
  Dm           F              C
illuminate the noes on their vacancy signs.
     Dm             F                 A      Dm        
If there's no one beside you when your soul embarks
     Bb          Bbm          F
then I'll follow you into the dark.


2nd Verse:(same chords)
     
   F
In Catholic school,
              Dm
as vicious as Roman rule,
          Bb 
I got my knuckles bruised 
     F        C
by a lady in black.

      F
And I held my tongue 
       Dm
as she told me "Son, 
            Bm
fear is the heart of love".
     F          C
So I never went back.


Chorus: 
     
     Dm              F              Bb             F          
If heaven and hell decide that they both are satisfied,
  Dm           F              C
illuminate the noes on their vacancy signs.
     Dm             F                 A      Dm        
If there's no one beside you when your soul embarks
     Bb          Bbm          F
then I'll follow you into the dark.



3rd Verse:(tiny change)

F
You and me
                Dm
have seen everything to see
                Bb
from Bangkok to Calgary, 
        F             C
and the soles of your shoes
 
    F
are all worn down.
             Dm
The time for sleep is now
                    Bb
but it's nothing to cry about  
             F               C      
'cause we'll hold each other soon
       Dm          Bb
in the blackest of rooms.


Chorus: 
     
     Dm              F              Bb             F          
If heaven and hell decide that they both are satisfied,
  Dm           F              C
illuminate the noes on their vacancy signs.
     Dm             F                 A      Dm        
If there's no one beside you when your soul embarks
     Bb          Bbm          F
then I'll follow you into the dark.
