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