Have you ever been close to tragedy or been close to folks who have?

         C            G       Am   F       C    G      Am   F    Dm F  Dm F
Have you ever felt a pain so powerful so heavy you collapse?

       C                     G                            Em                              F
No, I never had to knock on wood, but I know someone who has which makes me wonder if I could

                          C                     G                          Em
It makes me wonder if I, never had to knock on wood and I'm glad I haven't yet

                           F                                  C
Because I'm sure it isn't good, that's the impression that I get

          C            G           Am     F                   C           G         Am  F
Have you ever had the odds stacked up so high?  you need a strength most don't possess

          C          G      Am     F                   C     G        Am  F  Dm F  Dm F
Or has it ever come down to do or die?  you've got to rise above the rest

       C                     G                            Em                              F

I'm not a coward, I've just never been tested, I'd like to think that if I was, I would pass

 C           G                 C                Em        
Look at the tested and think there-but-for-the-grace-go-I

F            Am            Am              G
I might be a coward, I'm afraid of what I might find out

 C                     G                            Em                              F

C                               G                              Am
Never had to, I better knock on wood, cause I know someone who has

                            F
Which makes me wonder if I could, it makes me wonder if I

C                               G                              Am

                        F                                 C
And I'm glad I haven't yet, that's the impression that I get
