Em        Em7              Em6
       My death waits like
Ebm6          Em         Em7
       an old drouin (?)
	  Em6        Ebm6
       So confident
		   Em

G                    A
      My death waits like
	G            C
      a Bible truth
	     F             Am      Am\G
      at the funeral of my youth
	      F

      My death waits like
		 Abm
      a witched night
	F#                     Abm
     as surely as our love is bright
	       F#              B
     let's not think about the passing time


     Em                D                C
     But whatever lies behind the door
			      B
     there is nothing much to do
     Em             D             C     C\B
     Angel or Devil I don't care 
		   Am       Am\G             B
     For in front of that door there is you
     Bb     C#  Gm

     who sees the world through a ? mind
			      F
     throw him a dime for the passing time

      Bb            C#                  Bb
     My death waits there between your thighs
	       Ab                    Cm
     Your cold fingers will close my eyes
	   Ab
     Let's think of that
	     Bb                            0
     And the passing time


     Bm              A

		 Bm
     to allow my friend
	A
     a few good  times 
		Bm
     before it ends
	      A
     so let's drink to that
	     F#
     and the passing time


     G                 F                    Eb
     but whatever lies behind the door
			      D            G
     there is nothing much to do
		   F              Eb
     Angel or Devil I don't care 

     for in front of that door 
	      D
     there is you 


     Gm
     My death waits there

     among the leaves

     in magicians mysterious sleeves

     rabbits and dogs
	     F
     and the passing time


     Bb             C#
     My death waits there
	       Bb
     among the flowers
	       Ab              C#m
     where the blackest shadow cowers(?)
		Ab             Bb
     Let's pick lilacs for the passing time


     Bm             A
     My death waits there 
		 Bm
     in a double bed 
	   A
     sails of oblivion
	   Bm
     at my head 
		     A
     so pull up your seats against 
	 F#
     the passing time


      Gm               F               Eb
     But whatever lies behind the door 
		      D            Gm
     there is nothing much to do 
		      F
     Angel or Devil 
			Eb
     I don't care  

     for in front of that door.......
