To do what I do 
 
C So I stand here tonight D With this six string guitar G C To be something I've always been in my heart C D Just for the chance to play you my song G C The thrill when I hear you singing along Am C D Has been worth everything I've been through G To do what I do
Verse 3: G C I've played for empty tables and chairs D For drunks that don't listen G Crowds that don't care G Been told countless times C Boy you ain't goin nowhere Em D/F# G To do what I do Chorus 2: C D So I hope the critics and skeptics alike G C All bought a ticket to this show tonight C D They'll see first hand that I have survived G C What doesn't kill you makes you more alive Am C D and I'm one of the fortunate few G To do what I do Verse 4: G C There's so much joy, this music can bring D G So I count my blessings when I step up to sing G C Cause there's so many people that would give anything Em D/F# G To do what I do C D G And I thank you, I can do what I do
