Have you ever been close to tragedy or been close to folks who have?
         G            D       Em   C       G    D      Em   C    Am C  Am C
Have you ever felt a pain so powerful so heavy you collapse?
 
       G                     D                            Bm                              C
No, I never had to knock on wood, but I know someone who has which makes me wonder if I could
                          G                     D                          Bm
It makes me wonder if I, never had to knock on wood and I'm glad I haven't yet
                           C                                  G
Because I'm sure it isn't good, that's the impression that I get

Have you ever had the odds stacked up so high?  you need a strength most don't possess
          G          D      Em     C                   G     D        Em  C  Am C  Am C
Or has it ever come down to do or die?  you've got to rise above the rest

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

Never had to, I better knock on wood, cause I know someone who has
                            C
Which makes me wonder if I could, it makes me wonder if I
G                               D                              Em
