Chords with lyrics

Feeling Mortal
From the album Feeling Mortal


[Verse 1]

N.C.
            C majorC
Wide awake and feeling mortal
            G+G
At this moment in the dream
              G7G7
That old man there in the mirror
           C majorC
And my shaky self-esteem

N.C.
            C majorC
Here today and gone tomorrow
             FF
It's the way it's got to be
           C majorC   G+G
With an empty blue horizon
           C majorC
For as far as I can see

[Chorus]

          FF
God Almighty here I am
            C majorC
A minorAm I where I ought to be
            G+G
I've begun to soon descend
            C majorC
Like the sun into the sea
            FF
And I thank my lucky stars
          C majorC
From here to eternity
            G+G
For the artist that you are
             C majorC
And the man you made of me


[Verse 2]

N.C.
             C majorC
Pretty speeches still unspoken
            G+G
Perfect circles in the sand
             G7G7
Rules and promises I've broken
             C majorC
That I still don't understand

            C majorC
Soon or later I'll be leaving
           FF
I'm a winner either way
             C majorC   G+G
For the laughter and the loving
            C majorC
That I'm living with today

[Chorus]

          FF
God Almighty here I am
            C majorC
A minorAm I where I ought to be
            G+G
I've begun to soon descend
            C majorC
Like the sun into the sea
            FF
And I thank my lucky stars
          C majorC
From here to eternity
            G+G
For the artist that you are
             C majorC
And the man you made of me


[Coda]

N.C.
            C majorC
Wide awake and feeling mortal
