E5                           B5
Have you ever been close to tragedy
              C#5          A5
Or been close to folks who have
         E5                   B5
Have you ever felt a pain so powerful
   C#5       A5
So heavy you collapse

  Bidge:
  F#5 , A5
  No..

Chorus:
E5                       B5
I never had to knock on wood
                       G#5
But I know someone who has
                           A5
Which makes me wonder if I could
It makes me wonder if I
E5                       B5
Never had to knock on wood
                       G#5
And I'm glad I haven't yet
                          A5
Because I'm sure it isn't good      
                             E5
That's the impression that I get

  Solo: E5 , C#5

         E5                               B5
Have you ever had the odds stacked up so high
           C#5                 A5
You need a strength most don't possess
          E5                       B5  
Or has it ever come down to do or die
              C#5            A5
You've got to rise above the rest

  Bridge:
  Chorus:
  Solo: E5 , C#5

E5                                      B5
I'm not a coward, I've just never been tested
                            C#5          A5
I'd like to think that if I was, I would pass
                             E5                          B5
Look at the tested and think there but for the grace go I 
           C#5
might be a coward,
                                A5
I'm afraid of what I might find out

  Chorus:
  Solo (played 4x): E5 , C#5

E5                               B5
Never had to, I better knock on wood
                         C#5
Cause I know someone who has
                           A5
Which makes me wonder if I could
It makes me wonder if I
E5                               B5
Never had to, I better knock on wood
                        C#5
Cause I'm sure it isn't good
                       A5
And I'm glad I haven't yet 
                             E5
That's the impression that I get
