[Verse 1]
G                         Em
From the housetops to the gutters
C                     D
From the ocean to the shore
    G                                      Em
The warning signs have all been bright and garish
C                D
Far too great in number to ignore
 
[Verse 2]
G                      Em
From the cities to the swamplands
C                        D
From the highways to the hills
    G                           Em
Our love has never had a leg to stand on
C                        D
From the aspirins to the crosstops to the alovils
 
[Chorus]
        C    D              G
But I will walk... down to the end
     Em
With you
            C                D
If you will come all the way down
      G
With me
 
[Verse 3]
G                        Em
From the entrance to the exit
   C                                  D
Is longer than it looks from where we stand
  G                       Em
I wanna say I'm sorry for stuff I haven't done yet
C                          D
Things will shortly get completely out of hand
    
[Verse 4]
      G                         Em
I can feel it in the rotten air tonight
       C
In the tips of my fingers
       D
In the skin of my face
G                               Em
In the weak last gasp of the evening's dying light
C                                       D   
In the way those eyes I've always loved illuminate this place
 
[Chorus 2]
 C
Like a trash can fire
     D
In a prison cell
G
Like the searchlights
       Em
In the parking lots of hell
       C    D              G           
I will walk... down to the end
     Em
With you
            C                D
If you will come all the way down
     G
With me
