 1st Verse:
Love  of mine
 someday you  will die,
 but I'll be close  behind;
 I'll follow you  into the dark.
 No blinding  light
 or tunnels to gates  of white,
 just our hands clasped  so tight
 waiting for  the hint of a spark.
 If heaven  and hell decide  that they both  are satisfied,
 illuminate  the noes  on their vacancy  signs.
 If there's  no one beside  you when your soul  embarks
 then I'll  follow you  into the dark.
 2nd Verse:(same chords)
 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.
 (same chords)
 If heaven  and hell decide  that they both  are satisfied,
 illuminate  the noes  on their vacancy  signs.
 If there's  no one beside  you when your soul  embarks
 then I'll  follow you  into the dark.
 3rd Verse:(tiny change)
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 blackest  of rooms.
 If heaven  and hell decide  that they both  are satisfied,
 illuminate  the noes  on their vacancy  signs.
 If there's  no one beside  you when your soul  embarks
 Then I'll  follow you  into the dark
 Then I'll  follow you  into the dark
