Intro

[Verse 1]
D#m
Just 'cause it's part of a plan
B G#m
That doesn't make it right
D#m
If I put my life in your hands
B G#m
It's still unmistakably mine
[Pre-Chorus]

Dark its wings across a pitch-black sky:
B G#m
Death will come for me, but not tonight
[Chorus]

Let the earth cover me
Fm D# C#
Angels will call for me
A#m C
But in time, not tonight
Fm D# C#
Let the earth cover me
Fm D# C#
Angels will call for me
A#m C
But in time, not tonight
[Verse 2]
D#m
I said I'd walk the mile
B G#m
Not that I'd walk in line
D#m
I cannot promise I'll smile
B G#m
But I can promise I'll try
[Pre-Chorus]
B G#m
And if I ever make another vow
B G#m
It's to live for what's right here and now
[Chorus]
