E/G#    F#m             E        A
Love is madness that's quick to burn
        E/G#     F#m         E       A
And lying in the embers is where we are
   E/G#    F#m       E    A
And if my promise is unreturned
           E/G#   F#m     E      A
Before the day is over I will depart

Chorus:
             D         E        F#m
If I could choose I'd have you stay
 E     D                             A         E
But I gave my heart to you and it's yours to break
           A        E/G#  F#m
Before my fears tear us  apart
           E      D    E      A
Won't you follow me into the dark

Love is blindness I cannot see
Underneath our roots are tangled and buried deep
When the leaves have fallen from the trees
Do we grow together entirely

Chorus - x2

Before my fears tear us apart
Won't you follow me into the dark
