[Intro]
A  C#m  D  E, D
A  F#m  D  E
 
[Verse 1]
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
 
[Chorus 1]
              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
 
[Verse 2]
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           D
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
 
[Chorus 2]
             D        E
Like a trashcan fire in a prison cell
         A                    D
Like the searchlights in the parking lots of hell
        A               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
 
(Then verse progression while organ solo plays over it,
followed by D E A, then A E D transitioned rapidly,
then A E A.)
