Verse
Em        Em7              Em6
       My death waits like
Emb6          Em         Em7
       an old drouin (?)
          Em6        Emb6
       So confident
                   Em
       I'll go his way
Em7               Em6
       Whistle to him
Emb6          D            Dsus4  D
      and the passing time
G                    A
      My death waits like
        G            C
      a Bible truth
             F             Am      Am\G
      at the funeral of my youth
              F
      oh we drank for that
               G
      and the passing time
  G#m                     F#
      My death waits like
                 G#m
      a witched night
        F#                     G#m
     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
     A#     C#  Gm 
     Gm
     My death waits like 
     a beggar blind
     who sees the world through a ? mind
                              F
     throw him a dime for the passing time
      A#            C#                  A#
     My death waits there between your thighs
               G#                    Cm
     Your cold fingers will close my eyes
           G#
     Let's think of that
             A#                            0
     And the passing time
     Bm              A
     My death waits
                 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                    D#
     but whatever lies behind the door
                              D            G
     there is nothing much to do
                   F              D#
     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
     A#             C#
     My death waits there
               A#
     among the flowers
               G#              C#m
     where the blackest shadow cowers(?)
                G#             A#
     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               D#
     But whatever lies behind the door 
                      D            Gm
     there is nothing much to do 
                      F
     Angel or Devil 
                        D#
     I don't care  
     for in front of that door....... 
there is
