[Verse 1]
           D                                Bm
There's no place in this world where I'll belong when I'm
gone
    Em                                   A
And I won't know the right from the wrong when I'm gone
    D                 A               Bm
And you won't find me singin' on this song when I'm gone
     Em                 A               D
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here

[Verse 2]
    D                               Bm
And I won't feel the flowing of the time when I'm gone
    Em                                    A
All the pleasures of love will not be mine when I'm gone
D             A                Bm
 My pen won't pour a lyric line  when I'm gone
     Em                 A               D
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here

[Verse 3]
    D                           Bm
And I won't breathe the bracing air when I'm gone
     Em                          A
And I  can't even worry 'bout my cares when I'm gone
D              A         Bm
 Won't be asked to do my share when I'm gone
     Em                 A               D
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here

[Verse 4]
    D                           Bm
And I won't be running from the rain when I'm gone
     Em                               A
And I  can't even suffer from the pain when I'm gone
D                  A                   Bm
Can't say who's to praise and who's to blame when I'm gone
     Em                 A               D
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here

[Verse 5]
D                            Bm
 Won't see the golden of the sun when I'm gone
        Em                                   A
And the evenings and the mornings will be one when I'm gone
D                   A                Bm
Can't be singin' louder than the guns  while I'm gone
     Em                 A               D
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here

[Verse 6]
       D                         Bm
All my days won't be dances of delight when I'm gone
             Em                         A
And the sands  will be shifting from my sight when I'm gone
D             A                  Bm
 Can't add my name into the fight  while I'm gone
     Em                 A               D
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here

[Verse 7]
    D                          Bm
And I won't be laughin' at the lies when I'm gone
     Em                                 A
And I  can't question how or when or why when I'm gone
D           A               Bm
 Can't live proud enough to die when I'm gone
     Em                 A               D
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here

[Verse 8]
           D                                Bm
There's no place in this world where I'll belong when I'm
gone
    Em                                   A
And I won't know the right from the wrong when I'm gone
    D                 A               Bm
And you won't find me singin' on this song when I'm gone
     Em                 A
So I guess I'll have to do it

[Outro]
  Em                 A
I guess I'll have to do it
Em                A
Guess I'll have to do it
              D
While I'm here
