Feeling Mortal chords by Kris Kristofferson

Feeling Mortal
From the album Feeling Mortal


[Verse 1]

N.C.
                        C
Wide awake and feeling mortal
                        G
At this moment in the dream
                           G7
That old man there in the mirror
                     C
And my shaky self-esteem

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


[Chorus]

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


[Verse 2]

N.C.
                          C
Pretty speeches still unspoken
                        G
Perfect circles in the sand
                          G7
Rules and promises I've broken
                          C
That I still don't understand

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


[Chorus]

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


[Coda]

N.C.
                        C
Wide awake and feeling mortal
