Intro: A, C#m, D, E, D
A, F#m, D, E
Verse 1
AFrom the housetops to the gutterC#ms
DFrom the oceans to the sEhores D
The Awarning signs have all been bright and F#mgarish
DFar to great in number to igEnore
[repeat that progression]
From the cities to the swamplands
From the highways to the hills
Our love has never had a leg to stand on
From the aspirins to the cross-tops to the Elevils
'Chorus' 1
But I will walDk Edown to the eAnd with yDou
If you will Acome all the way Edown with Ame
Verse 2: (same progression as verse one)
From the entrance to the exit
Is longer than it looks from where we stand
I wanna say I'm sorry for stuff I haven't done yet
Things will shortly get completely out of hand
I can feel it in the rotten air tonight
In the tips of my fingers in the skin on my face
In the weak last gasp of the evening's dying light
In the way those eyes I've always loved illuminate this place
'Chorus' 2
Like a trashcDan fire iEn a prison cell
Like the Asearchlights in the pDarking lots of hell
I will wAalk down to the EenAd with yoDu
If you will Acome all the way Edown with Ame
[then verse progression while organ solo plays over it,
followed by D E A, then A E D transitioned rapidly,
then A E A]
