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 F#m
The warning signs have all been 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 F#m
Our love has never had a leg to stand on
D E
From the aspirins to the cross-tops to the Elevils
[Chorus 1]
D
But I will walk
E A D
down to the end with you
A E A
If you will come all the way down with me
[Verse 2]
A C#m
From the entrance to the exit
D E D
Is longer than it looks from where 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 C#m
I can feel it in the rotten air tonight
D
In the tips of my fingers
E D
in the skin on my face
A F#m
In the weak last gasp of the evening's dying light
D E
In the way those eyes I've always 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 A
If you will come all the way down with me
(then verse progression while organ solo plays over it,
followed by D E A, then A E D transitioned rapidly,
then A E A)
