Key:
C Am There's no place in this world where I'll belong when I'm gone
Dm G And I won't know the right from the wrong when I'm gone
C G Am And you won't find me singin' on this song when I'm gone
Dm G C So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here
C Am And I won't feel the flowing of the time when I'm gone
Dm G All the pleasures of love will not be mine when I'm gone
C G Am My pen won't pour a lyric line when I'm gone
Dm G C So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here
C Am And I won't breathe the bracing air when I'm gone
Dm G And I can't even worry 'bout my cares when I'm gone
C G Am Won't be asked to do my share when I'm gone
Dm G C So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here

C Am And I won't be running from the rain when I'm gone
Dm G And I can't even suffer from the pain when I'm gone
C G Am Can't say who's to praise and who's to blame when I'm gone
Dm G C So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here
C Am Won't see the golden of the sun when I'm gone
Dm G And the evenings and the mornings will be one when I'm gone
C G Am Can't be singing louder than the guns when I'm gone
Dm G C So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here
C Am All my days won't be dances of delight when I'm gone
Dm G And the sands will be shifting from my sight when I'm gone
C G Am Can't add my name into the fight when I'm gone
Dm G C So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here
C Am And I won't be laughing at the lies when I'm gone
Dm G And I can't question how or when or why when I'm gone
C G Am Can't live proud enough to die when I'm gone
Dm G C So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here [Ending]
C Am There's no place in this world where I'll belong when I'm gone
Dm G And I won't know the right from the wrong when I'm gone
C G Am And you won't find me singin' on this song when I'm gone
Dm G Am G Dm G So I guess I'll have to do it, I guess I'll have to do it, guess I'll have to do it while I'm
