[A] From the housetops to the [C#m] gutters,
[D] from the ocean to [E] the shore,
[D] [A] the warning signs have
all been bright [F#m] and garish, [D] far too great a number to [E] ignore.
[A] From the cities to [C#m] the swamplands, [D] from the highways to [E] the hills,
[D] [A] our love has never
had a leg [F#m] to stand on.
[D] From the aspirins to the [E] crosstops to the elevils, but I [D] will walk [E]
down [A] to the end [C#m] [D] with you,
if you [A] will come all the [E] way down [A] with me.
From the entrance to [C#m] the exit, [D] is longer than it looks from [E] where we stand.
[D] [A] I want to say I'm sorry for [F#m] stuff I haven't done yet.
[D] Things will shortly [E] get completely out of hand, I [A] 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 a [D] trash can fire.
[E] In a prison cell, [A] like the searchlights in the [D] parking lots of hell, [A] I will [F#m] walk [A] down
to [E] the end
[A] [Bm] [D] with you, if [A] you will come all the way [E] down [A] with me.
