          E          B      C#m   A          E        B        C#m   A 
Have you ever been close to tragedy or been close to folks who have? 
          E          B        C#m   A        E       B    C#m   A    F#m   A2     F#m 
Have you ever felt the pain so powerful, so heavy you collapse?      No?  Well… 


Chorus 
A2    E                      B                            G#m 
I've never had to (knock on wood), but I know someone who has, 
                             A 
Which makes me wonder if I could. 
                            E                      B 
It makes me wonder if I've never had to (knock on wood), 
                       E/G#                            A 
And I'm glad I haven't yet, because I'm sure it isn't good. 
                              E   B   C#m   A  (4x, then to Verse 2) 
That's the impression that I get.

Have you ever felt the odds stacked up so high, you need a strength most don't possess? 
           E       B        C#m    A                  E     B       C#m   A    F#m   A2     F#m 
Or has it ever come down to do or die? You've got to rise above the rest.      No?  Well…  
                                                                                                                                        (to Chorus) 

Bridge 
E     B                      C#m        G#m    
I'm not a coward, I've just never been tested. 
A            C#m            ÿ            B 
I'd like to think that if I was I would pass. 
E             B                    C#m                 G#m    
Look at the tested, and think that there, but for the Grace, go I. 
A           C#m          ÿ               B 
Might be a coward, I'm afraid of what I might find out. 
A2    E                   B                             G#m 
Never had to knock on wood, but I know someone who has. 
                            A 
Which makes me wonder if I could. 
                            E                      B 
It makes me wonder if I've never had to (knock on wood). 
                       E/G#                            A 
And I'm glad I haven't yet, because I’m sure it isn’t good. 
                                               
That’s the impression that I get.

Never have, I'd better knock on wood, 'cause I know someone who has. 
                            A 
Which makes me wonder if I could.
