Deathbed Acordes

[Chorus 1]
                F
I can smell the death on the sheets, covering me
                             C     G
I can't believe this is the end
    C          F          G         Am
But this is my deathbed I lie here alone
      C            F         G            C
If I close my eyes tonight I know I'll be home
 
[Verse 1]
    C                       Gm7
The year was nineteen forty-one
      Bb                              F
I was eight years old and far far too young
   C                        Gm7
To know that the stories Of battles and glory
      Bb                      F
Was a tale a kind mother made up for her son You see
C                   Gm7
Dad was a traveling preacher
Bb                        F
Teaching the words of the Teacher
    C                     Gm7
But mother had sworn went off to the war
    Bb                        F
And died there with honor somewhere on a beach there
       Am                 E7/G#
But he left once to never return
      C/G                     F#m7b5
Which taught me that I should unlearn
Fmaj7                C/E
Whatever I thought a father should be
  Cm/Eb                             D
I abandoned that thought like he abandoned me
   D                     A/C#
By forty-seven I was fourteen
    C                               G/B
I'd acquired a taste for liquor and nicotine
Gm/Bb                  D/A
I smoked until I threw up
                    A      C#m/G#      C#dim/G        D/F#
Yet I still lit 'em up for thirty more years like a machine
   Fmaj7                C
So right there you have it
     Fmaj7           C
That one filthy habit
        Dm           C      G
Is what got me where I am today
 
[Chorus 2]
                Fmaj7
I can smell the death on the sheets covering me
                            C     G
I can't believe this is the end
                 Fmaj7
I can hear those sad memories still haunting me
                       C    G
So many things I'd do again
    C           F         G        Am
But this is my deathbed I lie here alone
      C              F       G            C
If I close my eyes tonight I know I'll be home
 
[Verse 2]
    C                    Gm7
Got married on my twenty-first
Bb                     F
Eight months before my wife would give birth
     C                     Gm7
It's easier to be sure you love someone
         Bb                       F
When her father inquires with the barrel of a gun
    Am                 E7/G#
The union was far from harmonious
       C/G                         F#m7b5
No two people could have been more alone than us
    Fmaj7                       C/E
The years would go by and she'd love someone else
      Cm/Eb                  D
And I realized I hadn't been loved yet myself
     D                       A/C#
From there it's your typical spiel
         C                        G/B
Yeah, if life was a highway I was drunk at the wheel
      Gm/Bb                  D/A
I was helping the loose ends all fall apart
       A           C#m/G#      C#dim/G                D/F#
Yeah I swear I was destined to fail And fail from the start
  Fmaj7                    C
I bowled about six times a week
    Fmaj7                   C
The bottle of Beam kept the memories from me
   Fmaj7                C
My marriage had taken a seven-ten split
    Dm            C            G
And along with my pride the ex-wife took the kids
 
[Chorus 3]
                F
I can smell the death on the sheets covering me
                            C     G
I can't believe this is the end
                 F
I can hear those sad memories still haunting me so many things
        C    G
I'd do again
    C           F         G        Am
But this is my deathbed I lie here alone
     C             F
If I close my eyes tonight
  G            C
I know I'll be home
 
[Verse 3]
      C                      Gm7
I was so scared of Jesus but He sought me out
         Bb                        F
Like the cancer in my lungs that's killing me now
         C                    Gm7
And I've given up hope on the days I have left
      Bb                      F
But I cling to the hope of my life in the next
     Am                    E7/G#
Then Jesus showed up said "Before we go up"
   C/G                       F#m7b5
"I thought that we might reminisce"
         Fmaj7                       C/E
"See one night in your life when you turned out the light"
     Cm/Eb                    D
"You asked for and prayed for my forgiveness"
 
[Bridge]
          D         Bm                     A
You cried wolf; the tears they soaked your fur
    G                       Em7
The blood dripped from your fangs
    D                  A
You said, "What have I done?"
               Em        D            Bm
You loved that lamb with every sinful bone
     A             G           Em              A
And there you wept alone, your heart was so contrite
           Em7            D                G
You said, "Jesus, please forgive me of my crimes
Em            D                 G
Sanctify this withered heart of mine
Em             D               G
Stay with me until my life is through
    Em7                D                 G
And on that day please take me home with you"
 
[Chorus 4]
                G
I can smell the death on the sheets covering me
                            D   A
I can't believe this is the end
               G
I can hear You whisper to me, "It's time to leave
                 Bbaug  D     A
You'll never be lonely again"
    D            G         A          Bm
But this was my deathbed I died there alone
       D                G          A         Gadd9/D   D   Gadd9/D    D
When I closed my eyes tonight You carried me home
 
Gadd9/D   D   Gadd9/D    D
(repeat many times)
 
[Outro]
D         D/F#       Bm7             G   A
I am the Way follow Me and take My hand
     D        D/F#    Bm7            A           G
And I am the Truth, embrace Me and you'll understand
     D        D/F#          C                G
And I am the Light and for Me you'll live again
    G A  Bm   G  A  Bm
For I am Love I am Love
D   Em    Gmaj7 A  D
I,        I     am Love
