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