[Intro] A  C#m  D  E  D
        A  F#m  D  E

A                         C#m
From the housetops to the gutters
D                       E      D
From the oceans to the shores
    A                                      F#m
The warning signs have all been bright and garish
D                           E
Far to great in number to ignore

A                      C#m
From the cities to the swamplands
D                        E    D
From the highways to the hills
    A                           F#m
Our love has never had a leg to stand on
D                                   E
From the aspirins to the cross-tops to the Elevils

           D   E            A        D
But I will walk down to the end with you
            A                E         A
If you will come all the way down with me

A                        C#m
From the entrance to the exit
D                                         E  D
Is longer than it looks from where we stand
A                         F#m
I wanna say I'm sorry for stuff I haven't done yet
D                                  E
Things will shortly get completely out of hand

A                                      C#m
I can feel it in the rotten air tonight
D                            E
In the tips of my fingers in the skin on my face
A                        F#m
In the weak last gasp of the evening's dying light
D                                       E
In the way those eyes I've always loved illuminate this place
       D                  E
Like a trashcan fire in a prison cell
         A                   F#m
Like the searchlights in the parking lots of hell
       D   E            A        D
I will walk down to the end with you
            A                E         A
If you will come all the way down with me
