Tab By Jordan S.

                 Chord diagramFF                    Chord diagramFF
I can smell the death on the sheet, covering
    Chord diagramFF
me, I can't
         Chord diagramFF           Chord diagramC majorC             Chord diagramG+G
believe this is the end.

      Chord diagramC majorC          Chord diagramFF           Chord diagramG+G         Chord diagramA minorAm
But this is my death bed, I lie here alone, If
    Chord diagramC majorC
I close my
         Chord diagramFF       Chord diagramG+G            Chord diagramC majorC
eyes tonight, I know I'll be home.

        (upbeat)

 Chord diagramC majorC            Chord diagramG minorGm           Chord diagramBb majorBb                 Chord diagramFF The year was 1941, I was eight years old and far far too
            Chord diagramC majorC                        Chord diagramG minorGm
young, to know that the stories of battles and glory was a
 Chord diagramBb majorBb                               Chord diagramFF
Tale a kind mother made up for a son.


Chord diagramC majorC                              Chord diagramG minorGm        Chord diagramBb majorBb
You see dad was a traveling preacher, teaching the words of
    Chord diagramFF
a teacher.
 Chord diagramC majorC                       Chord diagramG minorGm
Mother had sworn he went off to the war, and
 Chord diagramBb majorBb                          Chord diagramFF
died there with honor, somewhere on a beach there.





        Chord diagramA minorAm                C#m/G#         Chord diagramC/GC/G    But he left once to never return, which taught me that I
        D9/F#        Chord diagramFF                  Chord diagramC majorC
should unlearn,  whatever I thought a father should be, I
 Chord diagramC minorCm                               Chord diagramD MajorD
abandoned that thought like he abandoned me.
       Chord diagramD MajorD            Dm(maj7)/C#      D7/C
By forty-seven I was fourteen, I acquired a taste for liquor and
   Chord diagramG+G      Chord diagramG minorGm                     Chord diagramD MajorD
nicotine, I smoked until I threw up yet I still lit-

     Chord diagramA augmentedA   C#m/G#   C#m-b5/G          Chord diagramD MajorD
‘em up for 30 more years, like a machine.


 Chord diagramFF                           Chord diagramC majorC
So right there you have it...           that
 Chord diagramFF
one filthy
        Chord diagramC majorC           Chord diagramDmDm          Chord diagramC majorC      Chord diagramG+G
habit...   is what got me where I am today.


                  Chord diagramFF                    Chord diagramFF
I can smell the death on the sheet, covering
    Chord diagramFF
me, I can't
         Chord diagramFF           Chord diagramC majorC             Chord diagramG+G
believe this is the end.

                  Chord diagramFF              Chord diagramFF             I can hear those sad memories, still haunting
      Chord diagramFF
me,  all of
            Chord diagramFF        Chord diagramC majorC                Chord diagramG+G
the things I'd do again.

      Chord diagramC majorC          Chord diagramFF           Chord diagramG+G         Chord diagramA minorAm
But this is my death bed, I lie here alone, If
    Chord diagramC majorC
I close my
 Chord diagramFF                Chord diagramG+G            Chord diagramC majorC
eyes tonight, I know I'll be home.



        Chord diagramC majorC                 Chord diagramG minorGm     Chord diagramBb majorBb
Got married on my twenty first, eight months
           Chord diagramFF
before my wife
would give birth.
        Chord diagramC majorC                   Chord diagramG minorGm
It's easier to be sure you love someone, when
      Chord diagramBb majorBb
her father
                    Chord diagramFF
inquires with the barrel on a gun.

      Chord diagramA minorAm                C#m/G#               The union was far from harmonious; no two
 Chord diagramC/GC/G
people could be
     D9/F#                Chord diagramFF
more alone than us, the years would go by and
        Chord diagramC majorC                         Chord diagramC minorCm
she’d love some one else and id realized I
              Chord diagramD MajorD
hadn’t been loved yet myself

    Chord diagramFF                       Chord diagramC majorC          Chord diagramFF
I bowled about six times a week, the bottle of beam kept
       Chord diagramC majorC
the memories from me.

      Chord diagramFF                   Chord diagramC majorC
Our marriage had taken a seven ten split and
  Chord diagramDmDm
along with my
  Chord diagramC majorC           Chord diagramG+G
all fall apart.

          Chord diagramA augmentedA         C#m/G#     C#m-b5/G
Yeah, I swear I was destined to fail, and fail from the
  Chord diagramD MajorD
start.

      Chord diagramC majorC          Chord diagramFF           Chord diagramG+G         Chord diagramA minorAm
But this is my death bed, I lie here alone, If
    Chord diagramC majorC
I close my
 Chord diagramFF                Chord diagramG+G            Chord diagramC majorC
pride the ex-wife took the kids.


                  Chord diagramFF                    Chord diagramFF
I can smell the death on the sheet, covering
    Chord diagramFF
me, I can't
         Chord diagramFF           Chord diagramC majorC             Chord diagramG+G
believe this is the end.

                  Chord diagramFF              Chord diagramFF             I can hear those sad memories, still haunting
      Chord diagramFF
me,  all of
            Chord diagramFF        Chord diagramC majorC                Chord diagramG+G
the things I'd do again.

      Chord diagramFF                           Chord diagramC majorC            the years would go by and she'd love someone else, and I'd
  Chord diagramC majorC                      Chord diagramD MajorD
realized I hadn't been loved yet myself.



       Chord diagramD MajorD                     Dmaj¬¬7          From there It's your typical spiel, yeah If
D7/C
life was a highway I was
  Chord diagramG+G                         Chord diagramG minorGm
drunk at the wheel, I was seeing the loose ends
 Chord diagramD MajorD
eyes tonight, I know I'll be home.


(Arpeggiated)

      Chord diagramC majorC                      Chord diagramG minorGm
I was so scared of Jesus but he sought me out,  like the
  Chord diagramBb majorBb                        Chord diagramFF
cancer in my lungs that's killing me now.

           Chord diagramC majorC                   Chord diagramG minorGm
And I've given up hope on the days I have left, but I
 Chord diagramBb majorBb                       Chord diagramFF
cling to the hope of my life in the next.

       Chord diagramA minorAm                   C#m/G#
Then Jesus showed up, said "Before we go, I
  Chord diagramC/GC/G
thought that we
        D9/F#
might reminisce"

           Chord diagramFF                           Chord diagramC majorC
"See one night in your life when you turned out the
               Chord diagramC minorCm                     Chord diagramD MajorD
lights", you asked for and prayed for my forgiveness"



(Slowed)

           Chord diagramD MajorD        Chord diagramD/F#D/F#                  Chord diagramA augmentedA
You Cried wolf, the tears they soaked your fur.
      Chord diagramG+G
The blood
                   Chord diagramG/EG/E
dripped from your fangs.

      Chord diagramD MajorD                 Chord diagramA augmentedA                    You said, "What have I done ", You loved that
  Chord diagramD MajorD
lamb with
 Chord diagramD/F#D/F#          Chord diagramA augmentedA         Chord diagramG+G             Chord diagramG/EG/E
every sinful bone, and there you wept alone.
      Chord diagramD MajorD               Chord diagramA augmentedA
Your heart was so contrite.

             Chord diagramG/EG/E             Chord diagramD MajorD
You said. " Jesus, please forgive me of my
   Chord diagramG+G       Chord diagramG/EG/E
crimes, Sanctify
        Chord diagramD MajorD               Chord diagramG+G
this withered heart of mine.

 Chord diagramG/EG/E            Chord diagramD MajorD               Chord diagramG+G          Chord diagramG/EG/E Stay with me until my life is through, and on
that day
        Chord diagramD MajorD                 Chord diagramG+G
please take me home with you".

                  Chord diagramG+G                   Chord diagramG+G
I can smell the death on the sheet, covering
    Chord diagramG+G                 Chord diagramG+G          Chord diagramD MajorD        Chord diagramA augmentedA
me; I can't believe this is the end.
                  Chord diagramG+G             Chord diagramG+G             I can hear you whisper to me, "It's time to

closed my eyes tonight you carried me home


12 measures of alternating Chord diagramG+G to Chord diagramD MajorD until the ending when Jon Foreman from Switchfoot sings as the voice of Jesus.
