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

But in time, not tonight
