[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
