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

Not today

But in time, not tonight
