[A] From the housetops [C#m] to the gutters,
[D] from the ocean [E] to the shore,
[D]
[A] The warning signs have all been [F#m] bright and garish, [D] far too great a number [E] to ignore.
[A] From the cities [C#m] to the swamplands, [D] from the highways [E] to the hills,
[D]
[A] Our love has never had a [F#m] leg to stand on.
[D] From the aspirins to the [E] crosstops to the Ella Vils,
But [D] I will walk [E]
down [A] to the end [C#m] [D] with you, if you [A] will come all [E] the way down [A] with me.
From the entrance to [C#m] the exit, [D] is longer than it looks from where [E] we stand.
[D] [A] I want to say I'm sorry [F#m] for stuff I haven't done yet.
[D] Things will shortly [E] get completely out of hand, [A] I can feel it in the rotten [C#m] air tonight.
[D] In the tips of my fingers, [E] in the skin on my face, [A] in the weak last gasp of [F#m] the evening's dying light.
[D] In the way those eyes I've always loved, [E] illuminate this place like [D] a trash can fire.
[E] In a prison cell, [A] like the searchlights, in [D] the parking lots of hell,
[A] I will [F#m] walk [A] down to [E] the end
[A] [D] with you, [A] if you will come all the way [E] down
[A] with me.
