Intro
Fm C# A#m
[Verse 1]
Fm
Just 'cause it's part of a plan
C# A#m
That doesn't make it right
Fm
If I put my life in your hands

It's still unmistakably mine
[Pre-Chorus]

Dark its wings across a pitch-black sky:
C# A#m
Death will come for me, but not tonight
[Chorus]
Gm F D#
Let the earth cover me
Gm F D#
Angels will call for me
Cm D
But in time, not tonight
Gm F D#
Let the earth cover me
Gm F D#
Angels will call for me
Cm D
But in time, not tonight
[Verse 2]
Fm
I said I'd walk the mile
C# A#m
Not that I'd walk in line
Fm
I cannot promise I'll smile
C# A#m
But I can promise I'll try
[Pre-Chorus]
C# A#m
And if I ever make another vow
C# A#m
It's to live for what's right here and now
[Chorus]
Gm F D#
Let the earth cover me
Gm F D#
Angels will call for me

But in time, not tonight

Let the earth cover me

Angels will call for me
Cm D
But in time, not tonight

Give me your best

It's the art of death

Give me your best
Dm D# F
Give me your best
[Instrumental]

In the second that I fall apart
