Intro
A#m F# D#m
[Verse 1]
A#m
Just 'cause it's part of a plan
F# D#m
That doesn't make it right
A#m
If I put my life in your hands
F# D#m
It's still unmistakably mine
[Pre-Chorus]
F# D#m
Dark its wings across a pitch-black sky:
F# D#m
Death will come for me, but not tonight
[Chorus]
Cm A# G#
Let the earth cover me
Cm A# G#
Angels will call for me
Fm G
But in time, not tonight
Cm A# G#
Let the earth cover me
Cm A# G#
Angels will call for me
Fm G
But in time, not tonight
[Verse 2]
A#m
I said I'd walk the mile
F# D#m
Not that I'd walk in line
A#m
I cannot promise I'll smile
F# D#m
But I can promise I'll try
[Pre-Chorus]
F# D#m
And if I ever make another vow
F# D#m
It's to live for what's right here and now
[Chorus]
Cm A# G#
Let the earth cover me
Cm A# G#
Angels will call for me

But in time, not tonight

Angels will call for me
Fm G
But in time, not tonight

It's the art of death

Give me your best

Give me your darkest

But I'll keep it waiting for me

It's the art of death
A#
Give me your best
Gm G# A#
Give me your best
[Instrumental]

In the second that I fall apart
