CHORUS
         Am     C (C/D)      G     (Bm)
 I'll be here a while, ain't going nowhere
         Em     C (C/D)      G     (Bm)
 I'll be here a while, ain't going nowhere
Am            C              G     (Bm)
 I'll be here a while, ain't going nowhere
Em            C              G      
 I'll be here a while

VERSE 1

Bm                    Em
 Far is solace in the maddening pace
Bm                       Em
 Sad state written on my face
 C     (G)        (Bm)     (G)      
 Not a tight rope walk but dance
     G     (Bm)    (Em)
 Uncertain game of chance
(Em)      C                 G
 But I'll see it through in time


CHORUS
         Am     C (C/D)      G     (Bm)
 I'll be here a while, ain't going nowhere
         Em     C (C/D)      G     (Bm)
 I'll be here a while, ain't going nowhere
Am            C              G     (Bm)
 I'll be here a while, ain't going nowhere
Em            C              G     (Bm)
 I'll be here a while

VERSE 2

Bm                    
 And if a person, place or thing can deliver
         Em
 I would quiver with delight
Bm                     
 Tempted by the hand that could
          Em
 Blind my vision and sight
 C     (G)        (Bm)     (G)     
 But at twenty years of age
     G     (Bm)   (Em)
 In frolic and in rage
(Em)    C                 G
 I will see it through in time

CHORUS
         Am     C (C/D)      G     (Bm)
 I'll be here a while, ain't going nowhere
         Em     C (C/D)      G     (Bm)
 I'll be here a while, ain't going nowhere
Am            C              G     (Bm)
 I'll be here a while, ain't going nowhere
Em            C              G     (Bm)
 I'll be here a while


VERSE 3
Bm                              Em
 But the dawn has come into the endless night
Bm                             Em 
 And everything's gonna be all right
 C      (G)    (Bm)     (G)    
 But at thirty years of age
         G     (Bm)    (Em)
 Through frolic and in rage
(Em)   C                     G
 All regressed and healed in time

ENDING
          Am     C (C/D)     G     (Bm)
