Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Intro:
C# minorC#m

Verse 1:
C# minorC#m
Like a new day rising, like a calm before the storm,
C# minorC#m
Like fog lifting from valleys on a sleeping forest floor,
C# minorC#m
Eyes open slowly as the dust is shaken off,
C# minorC#m
To gaze upon the wreckage that the midnight hands have wrought.

Pre-Chorus:
      A augmentedA              BB
And now I, I feel my temperature rising,
        C# minorC#m
My body explode.
A augmentedA             BB
I feel like somebody's watching,
         F# minorF#m
Like I'm not alone.
       E MajorE      BB
I stopped, I vowed right then and said:

Chorus:
C# minorC#m          A augmentedA
Whatever path you take (the path you take),
E MajorE           BB
Wherever you might go (where you might go),
C# minorC#m       A augmentedA
Whenever you decide to leave,
    E MajorE       F# minorF#m  C# minorC#m
I will follow, I will follow.

Verse 2:
C# minorC#m
We face a crossroad never knowing what's in store,
C# minorC#m
There's an angel on my shoulder,
C# minorC#m
There's a devil at my door.
C# minorC#m
She proclaimed, "Tonight will be the greatest of our lives",
C# minorC#m                           BB
And I said, "Don't be so sure, let's just wait until the morning light".

Pre-Chorus:
A augmentedA              BB
I feel my temperature rising,
        C# minorC#m
My body explode.
A augmentedA             BB
I feel like somebody's watching,
         F# minorF#m
Like I'm not alone.
       E MajorE      BB
I stopped, I vowed right then and said:

Chorus:
C# minorC#m          A augmentedA
Whatever path you take (the path you take),
E MajorE           BB
Wherever you might go (where you might go),
C# minorC#m       A augmentedA
Whenever you decide to leave,
    E MajorE       BB    A augmentedA G# minorG#m C# minorC#m E MajorE F# minorF#m C# minorC#m

Bridge:
C# minorC#m         E MajorE
There in the clearing we gathered close,
BB              F# minorF#m
Under the moon's pale light, we laid out the tools.
C# minorC#m                   BB
"You don't have to do this, but I forgive you if you don't",
A augmentedA                F# minorF#m  E MajorE F# minorF#m E MajorE BB
She just looked away and said "I know."

Breakdown:
C# minorC#m
Gripped by the midnight hands,
A augmentedA         BB
We cradle futures they would prevent,
C# minorC#m           A augmentedA
Gripped by the midnight hands.
A augmentedA
The line's crossed over,
BB
The dawn grows closer,
C# minorC#m
Let's bite off too much,
C# minorC#m
Let's jump with a blind trust,
  A augmentedA       BB
In water over our heads.

Chorus:
C# minorC#m          A augmentedA
Whatever path you take,
E MajorE           BB
Wherever you might go,
C# minorC#m       A augmentedA
Whenever you decide to leave,
    E MajorE       BB    F# minorF#m C# minorC#m E MajorE F# minorF#m G# minorG#m A augmentedA
I will follow, I will follow.

Chorus 2:
    C# minorC#m            A augmentedA
I won't bet on the falls you take (the falls you take)
    E MajorE       BB
I won't let go if you start to stray,
    C# minorC#m            A augmentedA
I'll be there until you don't wake up, yeah,
    E MajorE       F# minorF#m
I will follow, I will follow I will follow.
