I Will Follow You Into The Dark - Death Cab For Cutie





Intro:
Dm F Bb F C
Dm F C (Barchord)
Dm F A Dm C Bb Bbm (Into F with F-C note progression beginning)

Verse One:
F (F-C Root note going)
Love of mine,
                 Dm (D-A Root note going)
Someday you will die
                      Bb (strumming)
But I will be close behind
           F                  C
I will follow, you into the dark

F (F-C Root note going)
No blinding light
                        Dm (D-A Root note going)
Or tunnels to gates of white
                           Bb
Just our hands clasped so tight
         F                   C
Waiting for, the hint of a spark

Chorus:
   Dm                 F               Bb           F C
If heaven and hell decide, that they both are satisfied
Dm               F                 C (bar chord)
Illuminate the "no's", on their vacancy signs
Dm                        F              A      Dm C
If there's no one beside you, when your soul embarks
Bb                 Bbm            F (Begin F-C root again)
Then I will follow you into the dark

Verse Two:
F (F-C root note going)
Catholic school
                      Dm (D-A root note)
As vicious as roman rule
            Bb
I got my knuckles bruised
      F        C
By a lady in black

       F (F-C root note)              Dm                          Bb
And I held my tongue as she told me, "son, fear is the heart of love."
       F         C
So I never went back

Chorus Two (Same):
   Dm                F                Bb          F C
If heaven and hell decide, that they both are satisfied
Dm                F                C (bar chord)
Illuminate the "no's", on their vacancy signs
Dm                        F              A      Dm C
If there's no one beside you, when your soul embarks
Bb                 Bbm            F (Begin F-C root again)
Then I will follow you into the dark

Verse Three:
F                           Dm
You and me, have seen everything to see
                  Bb
From Bangkok to Calgary 
          F             C (barchord)
And the soles of your shoes
    F                                    Dm
Are all worn down, the time for sleep is now
                     Bb
But it's nothing to cry about
               F               C    Dm                  Bbm
Because we'll hold each other soon, in the blackest of rooms

Continue strumming the Bb minor an extra measure before the last chorus.

Chorus Three
Dm                   F                Bb            F C
If heaven and hell decide, that they both are satisfied
Dm               F                 C (bar chord)
Illuminate the "no's", on their vacancy signs
Dm                        F              A      Dm C
If there's no one beside you, when your soul embarks
Bb                 Bbm            F    run down to Dm on D string
Then I will follow you into the dark

Repeat last line, ending on F.
