I can smell the death on Fthe sheets
CoFvering me
FI can't believe this F/Gis the end     C

But thisC is my deathbeFd
I lGie here aloAmne
If I cClose my eyes tonight  F
I knGow I'll be home C

The yearC was nineteen forty one            G
I was eighB♭t years old and
Far, far too young   F
To knoCw that the stories
Of battGles and glory
Was a taleB♭ a kind mother
Made up foFr her son

You see
CDad was a traveling preacher     G
B♭Teaching the words of the Teacher         F
My mothCer had sworn he
Went off Gto the war
And diedB♭ there with honor
Somewhere oFn a beach there
But he leftAm once to never return    A♭
Which taughtC/G me that I should unlearn              F
Whatever FI thought a father should Cbe
I abandE♭oned that thought
Like he abandonedF me

By forDty seven I was fourteen       C
I'd acquirCed a taste for liquor and nicotine           G
I smoB♭ked until I threw up       D/A
Yet I still lit 'em up    A
For thirA♭ty more years   G
Like a machineD

So rigFht there you have it             C
That one Ffilthy habit          C
Is what got F/Dme where I am todaCy        G

I can smell the death on tFhe sheets

Covering me
I can't believe this iF/Gs the end      C                G
I can hear those sad memoriFes

Still haunting me

So many things
F/GI'd do agCain      G

But thiCs is my deathbed F
I Glie here aloAmne
If I cloCse my eyes tonight   F
I knoGw I'll be home   C

I got marriCed on my twenty first           G
EB♭ight months before my wife would givFe birth
It's eaCsier to be sure you love someonGe
When her father iB♭nquires with the barrel of a gun   F
The unioAmn was far from harmonious      G
No two people C/Gcould have been more alone than us          F
The yearFs would go by and she'd love someone else   C
And I realizeE♭d I hadn't been loved yet myselFf

From there Dit's your typical spiel         A
Yeah if lifeC was a highway
I was drunGk at the wheel
I was seeiB♭ng the loose ends
D/AAll fall apart
Yeah I swear AI was destined toA♭ fail           G
And failF♯ from the start   D

I boFwled about six times a week          C
The botFtle of Beam kept the memories from me    C
The marriaFge had taken a seven-ten split C
And alonF/Dg with my pride the eCx-wife took the kidGs

I can smell the death on tFhe sheets

Covering me
I can't believe this iF/Gs the end     C              G
I can hear those sad memoriFes

Still haunting me

So many things
F/GI'd do aCgain      G

But thisC is my deathbed F
I Glie here aloAmne
If I clCose my eyes tonight   F
I knoGw I'll be home  C

I was so sCcared of Jesus
But HG/De sought me out
Like the canceB♭r in my lungs
That's killiFng me now
And I've givenC up hope
On the days G/DI have left
But I clinB♭g to the hope
Of my lifeF in the next
Then JesusAm showed up
Said, "BeforGe we go up
I tC/Ghought that we might reminisce       F
See one night iFn your life
When you turned outC the light
You asked fE♭or and prayed for my forgiveness"          D

You cried wolf  D
The teaBmrs they soaked your fur          A
The blooGd dripped from your fangs                   Em
You saidD, "What have I done?"       A
You loved that Lamb         Em
With everyD sinful bone       Bm
And there yAou wept alone
GYour hearEmt was so contrite      A

You said, "Jesus, plEmease forgive me of my criDmes                        G
EmSanctify this witheredD heart of mine              G
EmStay with me until my Dlife is through          G
And on Emthat day please take me home withD you"                            G

You'll never be lonely again"   B           D                       A
