Intro:
I can smell the death on the sheets, covering me
I can't believe this is the end
Chorus:
But this is my deathbed I lie here alone
If I close my eyes tonight I know I'll be home
Verse 1:
The year was nineteen forty one I was
Eight years old and Far far too young
To know that the stories Of battles and glory
Was a tale a kind mother made up for her son You see
Dad was a traveling preacher
Teaching the words of the Teacher
But mother had sworn went off to the war
And died there with honor somewhere on a beach there
But he left once to never return
Which taught me that I should unlearn
Whatever I thought a father should be
I abandoned that thought Like he abandoned me
By forty seven I was fourteen
I'd acquired a taste for liquor and nicotine
I smoked until I threw up
Yet I still lit 'em up for thirty more years Like a machine
So right there you have it
That one filthy habit
Is what got me where I am today
Intro:
I can smell the death on the sheets Covering me
I can't believe this is the end
FamJ7
I can hear those sad memories Still haunting me
So many things I'd do again
Chorus:
But this is my deathbed I lie here alone
If I close my eyes tonight I know I'll be home
Verse 2:
I got married on my twenty first
Eight months before my wife would give birth
It's easier to be sure you love someone
When her father inquires with the barrel of a gun
The union was far from harmonious
No two people could have been more alone than us
The years would go by and she'd love someone else
And I realized I hadn't been loved yet myself
And there's your typical spiel Yeah, if life was a highway
I was drunk at the wheel I was helping the loose ends All fall apart
Yeah I swear I was destined to fail And fail from the start
I bowled about six times a week
The bottle of Beam kept the memories from me
The marriage had taken a seven-ten split
Along with my pride the ex-wife took the kids
Intro:
I can smell the death on the sheets covering me
I can't believe this is the end
I can hear those sad memories still haunting me so many things
I'd do again
Chorus:
But this is my deathbed I lie here alone
If I close my eyes tonight
I know I'll be home
Verse 3:
I was so scared of Jesus but He sought me out
Like the cancer in my lungs that's killing me now
And I've given up hope on the days I have left
But I cling to the hope of my life in the next
Then Jesus showed up said "Before we go"
"I thought that we might reminisce"
"See one night in your life When you turned out the light"
"You asked for and prayed for my forgiveness"
Bridge:
You cried wolf The tears they soaked your fur
The blood dripped from your fangs
You said, "What have I done?"
You loved that lamb With every sinful bone
And there you wept alone Your heart was so contrite
You said, "Jesus, please forgive me of my crimes
Sanctify this withered heart of mine
Stay with me until my life is through
And on that day please take me home with you"
Intro:
I can smell the death on the sheets covering me
I can't believe this is the end
I can hear You whisper to me, "It's time to leave
You'll never be lonely again"
Chorus:
But this was my deathbed I died there alone
D G5 A G/D D G/D D repeat.
When I closed my eyes tonight You carried me home
Jon Foreman of Switchfoot sings, as the voice of Jesus:]
Outro:
I am the Way follow Me and take My hand
And I am the Truth, embrace Me and you'll understand
And I am the Light and for Me you'll live again
For I am Love I am Love
I----I , I am Love
