Verse 1
C
Gm
The year is 1941
Bb
F
I was 8 years old and far, far too young
C
Gm
To know that the stories of battles and glory

You see, dad was a traveling preacher

Teaching the words of the teacher

Gm
Mother had sworn he went off to the war

And died there with honor,

somewhere on a beach there

But he left once, to never return
C/G
F#dim
Which taught me that I should unlearn

Got married on my 21st

It's easier to be sure you love someone
Bb
F
When a father inquires with the barrel of a gun
Am
Abdim
The union was far from harmonious
C/G
No two people could've been
F#dim
more alone than us
Fmaj7
The years would go by
C/E
and she'd love someone else
Cm/Eb
D
And I realized I hadn't been loved yet myself
D/C#
From there, it's your typical spiel
D/C
Yeah, if life was a highway,
G/B
I was drunk at the wheel
Gm/Bb
D/A
I was helpin' the loose ends all fall apart
A
A/Ab
A/G
Yeah, I swear I was destined to fail

and fail from the start

If I close my eyes tonight,
G
C
I know I'll be home
Verse 3
C
I was so scared of Jesus
Gm
but he sought me out
Bb
F
Like the cancer in my lungs, it's killing me now
C
Gm
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
Well, then Jesus showed up, said,
Abdim
"Before we go up
C/G
F#dim
I thought that we might reminisce

See one night in your life,

when you've turned out the lights

You asked for and prayed for my forgiveness"

the tears, they soaked your fur

The blood dripped from your fangs,

You loved that lamb with every sinful bone
