A  C#m  D  E  D
A  F#m  D  E

[Verse 1]
A                               C#m
From the housetops to the gutters
D                       E      D
From the oceans to the shores
    A                          
The warning signs have all been 
            F#m
bright and garish
D                           E
Far to great in number to ignore

A                          C#m
From the cities to the swamplands
D                        E     D
From the highways to the hills
    A                           
Our love has never had a leg to 
F#m
stand on
D                                 
From the aspirins to the 
         E
cross-tops to the Elevils

[Chorus 1]
              D
But I will walk
E            A        D
down to the end with you
            A                E    
If you will come all the way down 
     A
with me

[Verse 2]
A                        C#m
From the entrance to the exit
   D                               
Is longer than it looks from where 
   E     D
we stand
  A
I wanna say I'm sorry
    F#m
for stuff I haven't done yet
D                              E
Things will shortly get completely 
out of hand

      A                        
I can feel it in the rotten air 
   C#m
tonight
       D
In the tips of my fingers
       E          D
in the skin on my face
       A                    
In the weak last gasp of the 
 F#m
evening's dying light
       D                         
In the way those eyes I've always 
       E
loved illuminate this place

[Chorus 2]
             D        E
Like a trashcan fire in a prison 
cell
         A                    D
Like the searchlights in the parking
 lots of hell
        A               E A        D
I will walk down to the end with you
            A                E    
If you will come all the way down 
     A
with me

solo plays over it,
followed by D E A, then A E D 
transitioned rapidly,
then A E A)
