Intro:
    Dm  F  Bb  F  C  
    Dm  F  C
    Dm  F  A  Dm  C  Bb  Bbm  F  

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

In Revolutionary School
As vicious as Musain rule
I gouty feelings bruised
by the leader in red
and i propped the bar
as he told me “R, you’re a good-for-nothing Fool,”
and I heard every word that he said

For those who are wondering, the picking pattern used in the actual song is you pluck the C string and then strum up once and down once for each chord

oh my god when my dog was in the trunk of the car almost dead we were listening to this song and it makes my cry every time. I relate so much. Even though it can be hard to lose somebody or a pet your lost loved ones are always with you and still love you. This song makes me think of her every time. I hope you read this and remember that it’s ok and you can always be reminded that she loves you and will never forget and the same for you.

On a different page it says to play C7 after C in the “vacancy signs” part.. and it sounds a bit better to me when C7 is added sooo I thought why not telling more people. :3

I’m playing on +4. Does anyone know an easier note for E?

Muffle the second string from the left. It’s easier than reaching that fourth finger and it sounds better, though relatively the same.

I think that -5 sounds the best

I agree! Easy and beautiful but I don’t like the transition to Fm so I use Cbmaj instead
