Intro: C G

C G
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 

Bm Em
Far is solace in the maddening pace
Sad state written on my face

C G
Not a tight rope walk but dance
Uncertain game of chance
But I'll see it through in time

C G
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 

Bm Em
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

C G
But at twenty years of age
In frolic and in rage
I will see it through in time

C G
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

Bm Em
But the dawn has come into the endless night
And everything's going to be all right

C G
But at thirty years of age
Through frolic and in rage
All regressed and healed in time

C G
I'll be here awhile ain't going nowhere
Said I, said I, said I
I will survive
