I Will Follow You Into the Dark
by Death Cab For Cutie
Intro:
Am (B walk up) C F C (walk down B)
Am (B walk up) C G
Am C E Am (walk down G) F Fm
[C] Love of mine, someday [Am] you will die,
but I'll be [F] close behind; I'll follow [C] you into the [G] dark.
No [C] blinding light, or tunnels to [Am] gates of white,
just our [F] hands held tight, waiting [C] for the hint of a [G] spark.
( Chorus
If [Am] heaven and hell de- [C] cide that they [F] both are satis- [C] fied,
il- [Am] luminate the [C] noes on their [G] vacancy signs.
If there's [Am] no one be- [C] side you when your [E] soul em- [Am] barks
then [F] I'll follow [Fm] you into the [C] dark. )
In Catholic school, as vicious as Roman rule,
I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black.
And I held my tongue as she told me "Son,
fear is the heart of love". So I never went back.
Chorus
You and me have seen everything to see
from Bangkok to Calgary, and the soles of your shoes
are all worn down. The time for sleep is now
but it's nothing to cry about 'cause we'll hold each other soon
in the [Am] blackest of [F] rooms.
Chorus
I'll follow you into the dark x2
