Intro: G C Em D G
 
GC I've been a waiter, a roofer, a clerk
DG I've shovelled manure till my pride hurt
GC When you're starting out, it's all part of the work
EmDG To do what I do
 
GC I've been evicted for not making rent
DG Made my Daddy wonder where my good sense went
GC For the price of a dream, my years have been spent
EmDG To do what I do
CD So I stand here tonight with this six string guitar
GC To be something I've always been in my heart
CD Just for the chance to play you my song
GC The thrill when I hear you singing along
AmCD It's been worth everything I've been through
G To do what I do
GC I've played for empty tables and chairs
DG The drunks that don't listen, the crowds that don't care
GC Been told countless times Boy you ain't goin' nowhere
EmDG To do what I do
CD So I hope the critics and sceptics alike
GC All bought a ticket to this show tonight
CD And they'll see firsthand that I have survived
GC And what doesn't kill you makes you more alive
AmCD And I'm one of the fortunate few
G To do what I do
GC There's so much joy this music can bring
DG So I count my blessings when I step up to sing
GC Cause they're so many people who would give anything
EmDG To do what I do
CD And I thank you
G I can do what I do
