[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
AFrom the cities to the swamC#mplands
DFrom the highways to the Ehills D
Our Alove has never had a leg to F#mstand on
DFrom the aspirins to the cross-tops to the EElevils
[Chorus 1]
But I will walDk
Edown to the eAnd with yDou
If you will Acome all the way Edown with Ame
[Verse 2]
AFrom the entrance to the C#mexit
Is Dlonger than it looks from where we Estand D
I Awanna say I'm sorry
for F#mstuff I haven't done yet
DThings will shortly get completEely out of hand
I can Afeel it in the rotten air toC#mnight
In the Dtips of my fingers
in the Eskin on my Dface
In the Aweak last gasp of the F#mevening's dying light
In the Dway those eyes I've always loved Eilluminate 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)
