Intro
Em C Am
[Verse 1]
Em
Just 'cause it's part of a plan
C Am
That doesn't make it right
Em
If I put my life in your hands
C Am
It's still unmistakably mine
[Pre-Chorus]
C Am
Dark its wings across a pitch-black sky:
C Am
Death will come for me, but not tonight
[Chorus]
F#m E D
Let the earth cover me
F#m E D
Angels will call for me
Bm C#
But in time, not tonight
F#m E D
Let the earth cover me
F#m E D
Angels will call for me
Bm C#
But in time, not tonight
[Verse 2]
Em
I said I'd walk the mile
C Am
Not that I'd walk in line
Em
I cannot promise I'll smile
C Am
But I can promise I'll try
[Pre-Chorus]
C Am
And if I ever make another vow
C Am
It's to live for what's right here and now
[Chorus]
F#m E D
Let the earth cover me
F#m E D
Angels will call for me
Bm C#
But in time, not tonight
F#m E D
Let the earth cover me
F#m E D
Angels will call for me
Bm C#
But in time, not tonight
[Bridge 1]
F#m
It's the art of death
E
Give me your best
C#m D
Give me your darkest
F#m
It's the art of the fall
E
That comes for each and all
C#m D
But I'll keep it waiting for me
F#m
It's the art of death
E
Give me your best
C#m D E
Give me your best
[Instrumental]
Bm C#m x4
[Bridge 2]
G A
In the second that I fall apart
Bm A
I will greet your old familiar face
G A
But I reckon it won't be today

Not today
