Formada em 1987, em Tempe, no Arizona, pelos amigos Bill Leen (baixo) e Doug Hopkins, o Gim Blossoms tinha em sua formação inicial o vocalista Jesse Valenzuela, o guitarrista Richard Taylor e o baterista Chris McCann. No mesmo ano, trocam de baterista, entrando na banda Dan Henzerling, rapidamente substituído por Phillip Rhodes. Outro que sai em 1987 é o guitarrista Richard Taylor, em seu lugar entra Robin Wilson. Wilson também assume os vocais a banda e Valenzuela passa para a guitarra.

DEmC Did you see the sky i think it means that we've been lost DEmC Maybe one less time is all we need DEmC I can't really help it if my tongue's all tied in knots DEmC Jumpin' off a bridge is just the farthest that i've ever been
[Chorus]
G Em C (Riff walk from C to D) Anywhere you go, I'll follow you down D Em C (Riff walk from C to G) Anyplace but those i know by heart GEmC Anywhere you go, I'll follow you down DEmC i'll follow you down but not that far
D-Em-C x1
[Verse 2]
DEmC I know we're headed somewhere i can see how far we've come DEmC But still i can't remember anything DEmC Lets not do the wrong thing and i swear it might be fun DEmC It's a long way down but all the knots we've tied have come undone
[Chorus]
G Em C (Riff walk from C to D) Anywhere you go, I'll follow you down D Em C (Riff walk from C to G) Anyplace but those i know by heart GEmC Anywhere you go, I'll follow you down DEmC i'll follow you down but not that far
[Solo]
Same pattern as verses D-Em-C x4
[Verse 3]
DEmC How you gonna ever find your place DEmC Runnin' in an artificial pace DEmC Are they gonna find us lying face down in the sand DEmC So what the hell, have we already been forever damned?
[Chorus]
G Em C (Riff walk from C to D) Anywhere you go, I'll follow you down D Em C (Riff walk from C to G) Anyplace but those i know by heart GEmC Anywhere you go, I'll follow you down DEmC i'll follow you down but not that far
[Chorus]
G Em C (Riff walk from C to D) Anywhere you go, I'll follow you down D Em C (Riff walk from C to G) Anyplace but those i know by heart G Em C (Riff walk from C to D) Anywhere you go, I'll follow you down DEmC i'll follow you down but not that far DEmC I'll follow you down, but not that far (follow you down) DEmC I'll follow you down, but not that far (follow you down) DEmC I'll follow you down, but not that far (follow you down)
[Outro] same pattern as chorus G-Em-C x3 start to fadeout more on last one
