[Verse]
F
Love of mine,
Dm
Someday you will die
Bb
But I will be close behind
F C
I will 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 C
If heaven and hell decide, that they both are satisfied
Dm F C
Illuminate the "no's", on their vacancy signs
Dm F A Dm C
If there's no one beside you, when your soul embarks
Bb Bbm F
Then I will follow you into the dark
[Verse]
F
Catholic school
Dm
As vicious as roman rule
Bb
I got my knuckles bruised
F C
By a lady in black
F Dm Bb
And I held my tongue as she told me, "son, fear is the heart of love."
F C
So I never went back
[Chorus]
Dm F Bb F C
If heaven and hell decide, that they both are satisfied
Dm F C
Illuminate the "no's", on their vacancy signs
Dm F A Dm C
If there's no one beside you, when your soul embarks
Bb Bbm F
Then I will follow you into the dark
[Verse]
F Dm
You and me, have seen everything to see
Bb
From Bangkok to Calgary
F C
And the soles of your shoes
F Dm
Are all worn down, the time for sleep is now
Bb
But it's nothing to cry about
F C Dm Bbm
Because we'll hold each other soon, in the blackest of rooms
[Chorus]
Dm F Bb F C
If heaven and hell decide, that they both are satisfied
Dm F C
Illuminate the "no's", on their vacancy signs
Dm F A Dm C
If there's no one beside you, when your soul embarks
Bb Bbm F
Then I will follow you into the dark
Bb Bbm F
Then I will follow you into the dark
