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

Angels will call for me

Let the earth cover me
A#m G# F#
Angels will call for me
D#m F
But in time, not tonight
