Intro: C5 G5
C5 G5
I'll be here awhile ain't going nowhere
I'll be here awhile ain't going nowhere
I'll be here awhile ain't going nowhere
I'll be here awhile
B5 E5
Far is solace in the maddening pace
Sad state written on my face
C5 G5
Not a tight rope walk but dance
Uncertain game of chance
But I'll see it through in time
C5 G5
I'll be here awhile ain't going nowhere
I'll be here awhile ain't going nowhere
I'll be here awhile ain't going nowhere
I'll be here awhile
B5 E5
And if a person place or thing can deliver
I will quiver with delight
Tempted by the hand that could
Blind my vision and sight
C5 G5
But at twenty years of age
In frolic and in rage
I will see it through in time
C5 G5
I'll be here awhile ain't going nowhere
I'll be here awhile ain't going nowhere
I'll be here awhile ain't going nowhere
I'll be here awhile
B5 E5
But the dawn has come into the endless night
And everything's going to be all right
C5 G5
But at thirty years of age
Through frolic and in rage
All regressed and healed in time
C5 G5
I'll be here awhile ain't going nowhere
Said I, said I, said I
I will survive
