[Em]
My death waits like [C] an older wife So confident [C] I'll [Em] go his way
Whistle to him and [D] the passing time My [G]
[C] death [A] waits like a [G] Bible truth
[C] [F] At the funeral of [Am] my youth Are [F] we proud for that?
[G] And the passing time [Abm] My death waits [Gb] like a [Abm] wretched night
As [Gb] surely as our love [Abm] is bright
[E] [Gb] Let's not think about [Ebm] the [Bb] [B] passing time
[Em] But whatever
[D] lies behind the door [C] There [A] is nothing much [B] to do
[Em] Angel or devil [E] I don't care
But [C] far [G] in front of that door [Am] There [B] is you
[F]
[G] [Gm]
My death waits like a beggar blind Who sees the world through an unlit mind

[Ab] Let's think of that in the [Bb] passing time

[Cm] [Eb] There is nothing much [D] to do
[Gm] Angel or devil [F] I don't care
[Eb] For in front of that door There [D]
is you
[Gm] My death waits there among the leaves
And magicians, mysterious sleeves Rabbits and dogs [F] and the passing time
[Bb] My death [C] waits there among [Bb] the flowers Where [Ab] the blackest shadow, blackest shadow [Cm] cowers
[Ab] Let's pick lilacs for the [Bb] passing time
[Bm] My death waits [A] there in a double [Bm] bed
Sails [A] of oblivion in my [Bm] head So pull [A] up the sheets against the [Gb] passing time

There is nothing [D] much to do
[Gm]
