E                           B
Have you ever been close to tragedy
              C#m          A
Or been close to folks who have
         E                   B
Have you ever felt a pain so powerful
   C#m       A
So heavy you collapse

  No..

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

  Solo: E, C#m

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

  Bridge:
  Chorus:
  Solo: E, C#m

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

  Chorus:
  Solo (played 4x): E, C#m

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