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    C
If heaven and hell decide that they both are satisfied,
  Dm           F              C
illuminate the noes 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'll follow you into the dark.

Verse:
   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,
            Bb
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 noes 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'll follow you into the dark.

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