Verse 1: 
 
 G                     C     
I've been a waiter, a roofer, a clerk 
  
     D                     G 
I've shoveled manure, till my pride hurt 
 
     G                          C                  
When your startin' out it's all part of the work 
 
Em    D/F#   G  
To do what I do 
 
 
Verse 2: 
  
 G                     C 
I've been evicted, for not makin' rent 
  
       D                        G 
I made my daddy wonder where my good sense went 
 
        G                    C          
For the price of a dream, my years have been spent 
 
Em    D/F#   G 
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
