Feeling Mortal
Written & Recorded by Kris Kristofferson
Wide awake and feeling (C)mortal at this moment in the (G)dream
That old man there in the mirror and my shaky self-es-(C)teem
Here today and gone to-(C)morrow that's the way it's got to (F)be
With an empty blue ho-(C)rizon (G) for as far as I can (C) see
(Chorus)
God Almighty, here I (F)am, am I where I ought to (C)be
I've begun to soon de-(G)scend like the sun into the (C)sea
And I thank my lucky (F)stars from here to eterni-(C)ty
For the artist that you (G)are and the man you made of (C)me
Pretty speeches still un-(C)spoken, perfect circles in the (G)sand
Rules and promises I've broken that I still don't under-(C)stand
Soon or later I'll be (C)leaving, I'm a winner either (F)way
For the laughter and the (C)loving (G) that I'm living with to-(C)day
(Chorus)
God Almighty, here I (F)am, am I where I ought to (C)be
I've begun to soon de-(G)scend like the sun into the (C)sea
And I thank my lucky (F)stars from here to eterni-(C)ty
For the artist that you (G)are and the man you made of (C)me
