I Will Follow You Into the Dark

Love of mine,

someday (Dm)you will die, but I'll be (Bb)close behind.

I'll follow you into the dark.

No (F)blinding light or tunnels to (Dm)gates of white,

just our hands (Bb)clasped so tight,

waiting for the hint of a (C)spark.

If (Dm)heaven and hell decide that they both are satisfied,

(F)(Dm)illuminate the "no's" on their vacancy signs;

if there's no one beside you when your (A)soul embarks,

(Dm)then (Bb)I'll follow you into the dark.

(F)In Cath'lic school, as vicious as (Dm)Roman rule,

I got my (Bb)knuckles bruised by a lady in black.

I (F)held my tongue as she (Dm)told me,

"Son, fear is the (Bb)heart of love."

So I never went back.

If

(F)You and me have seen (Dm)ev'rything to see,

from Bangkok to (Bb)Calgary, and the soles of your shoes

are (F)all worn down.

The time for (Dm)sleep is now,

but it's nothing to (Bb)cry about,

'cause we'll hold each other soon in the blackest of rooms.

(Bb)If (Dm)heaven and hell decide that they both are satisfied,

(F)(Bb)illuminate the "no's" on their vacancy signs;

if (Dm)there's no one beside you when your (A)soul embarks,

(Dm)then (Bb)I'll follow you into the dark.

(Dm)Then (Bb)I'll follow you into the dark.
