[Intro] 
Am  C  F  C  C/B
Am  C  G
Am  C  E  Am G  F  Fm  C 

[Verse 1]
 C                     Am
Love of mine, someday you will die,
                 F
But I will be close behind,
             C            G
I'll follow you into the dark.

     C                            Am
No blinding light, 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         C/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    G
if there's no-one beside you when your soul embarks,
F              Fm               C
I will follow you into the dark.

[Verse 2]
C                               Am
Catholic school, as vicious as roman rule,
           F                    C         G
I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black.
   C                     Am                          F
I held my tongue, as she told me "Son, fear is the heart of love"
      C          G       
So i never went back.

[Chorus]

    Am                C              F           C         C/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    G
if there's no-one beside you when your soul embarks,
F              Fm               C
I will follow you into the dark.

[Verse 3]
C                         Am       
You and me have seen everything to see,
                  F
From Bangkok to Calgary,
          C              G
And the soles of your shoes,

     C                           Am
Are all worn down, the time for sleep is now,
                     F
But it's nothing to cry about ,
              C               G            Am         F
'Cause we'll hold each other soon in the blackest of rooms.

[Chorus]
    Am                C              F           C         C/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    G
if there's no-one beside you when your soul embarks,
F              Fm               C
I will follow you into the dark.
