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

Angels will call for me

But in time, not tonight
