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

But in time, not tonight
