[D] [E]
[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 to [E] 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 leg [F#m] to stand on.
[D] From the aspirins to the [E] crosstops to the L.O.L.'s, but I [D] will walk
[E]
Down [A] to the end [E] [D] with you, [A] if you will come all the way [E] down with [A] 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 air [C#m] 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 [D] like a trash can fire.
[E] In a prison cell, [A] like the searchlights, in the [D] parking lots of [A] hell,
I will walk [F#m] [A] down [E] to the end
[A] [D] with you, [A] if you will come all [E] the way down [A] with me.
