This tab isn't 100% correct, the song has two guitars and this is meant
simply as a compromise between the two strummed and picked patterns.

[Dm] [F] [Bb] [F] [C/E]
[Dm] [F] [C] [CaddG]
[Dm] [F] [A] [Dm] [Dm/C]
[Bb] [Bbm] [F]

[F] Love of mine, someday [Dm] you will die
But I'll be [Bb] close behind
I'll follow [F] you into the [C] dark [CaddG]

[F] No blinding light, or tunnels to [Dm] gates of white
Just our hands [Bb] clasped so tight
Waiting [F] for the hint of a [C] spark [CaddG]

If [Dm] heaven and hell de [F] cide
That they [Bb] both are satis [F] fied [C/E]
[Dm] Illuminate the [F] nos on their [C] va [CaddG] cancy signs
If [Dm] there's no one be [F] side you when your [A] soul em [Dm] barks [Dm/C]
[Bb] Then I'll follow [Bbm] you into the [F] dark

In Catholic school, as vicious as [Dm] Roman rule
I got my [Bb] knuckles bruised
By a [F] lady in [C] black [CaddG]

And [F] I held my tongue, as she [Dm] told me "Son,
Fear is the [Bb] heart of love."
So [F] I never went [C] back [CaddG]

If [Dm] heaven and hell de [F] cide
That they [Bb] both are satis [F] fied [C/E]
[Dm] Illuminate the [F] nos on their [C] va [CaddG] cancy signs
If [Dm] there's no one be [F] side you when your [A] soul em [Dm] barks [Dm/C]
[Bb] Then I'll follow [Bbm] you into the [F] dark

You and me we've seen every [Dm] thing to see
From Bangkok to [Bb] Calgary
And the [F] soles of our [C] shoes [CaddG]

Are [F] all worn down, the time for [Dm] sleep is now
It's nothing to [Bb] cry about
'Cause we'll [F] hold each other [C] soon [CaddG]
In the [Dm] blackest of [Bb] rooms

If [Dm] heaven and hell de [F] cide
That they [Bb] both are satis [F] fied [C/E]
[Dm] Illuminate the [F] nos on their [C] va [CaddG] cancy signs
If [Dm] there's no one be [F] side you when your [A] soul em [Dm] barks [Dm/C]
[Bb] Then I'll follow [Bbm] you into the [F] dark [C/E] [Dm]
And [Bb] I'll follow [Bbm] you into the dark [F]
