Love of mine,

just our hands (Bb)clasped so tight,

wait ing for

the hint of a (C)spark.

If (Dm)heav en and hell de cide

that they both are sat is fied,

il (Dm)lu mi nate the “no’s”

on their va

can cy signs;

if (Dm)there’s no one be side you

when your (A)soul

then (Bb)I’ll fol low you in to the dark.

In Cath ’lic school,

as vi cious as (Dm)Ro man rule,

I got my (Bb)knuck les bruised

by a la

I (F)held my tongue

as she (Dm)told me, “Son,

So I nev

from Bang kok to (Bb)Cal ga ry,

and the soles

The time for (Dm)sleep is now,

but it’s noth ing to (Bb)cry a bout,

’cause we’ll hold

If (Dm)heav en and hell de cide

that they both are sat is fied,

il (Bb)lu mi nate the “no’s”

on their va

if (Dm)there’s no one be side you

when your (A)soul

em barks,

then (Bb)I’ll fol low you in to the dark.

Then (Bb)I’ll fol low you in to the dark.
