Intro: ( C G C Em F Am Am G ) x2 (C G Am F)x4
Have you ever been close to tragedy or been close to folks who have?
Have you ever felt a pain so powerful so heavy you collapse?
No, I never had to knock on wood, but I know someone who has which makes me wonder if I could
It makes me wonder if I, never had to knock on wood and I'm glad I haven't yet
Because I'm sure it isn't good, that's the impression that I get
Solo: (C G Am F) x4
Have you ever had the odds stacked up so high? you need a strength most don't possess
Or has it ever come down to do or die? you've got to rise above the rest
No, I never had to knock on wood, but I know someone who has which makes me wonder if I could
It makes me wonder if I, never had to knock on wood and I'm glad I haven't yet
Because I'm sure it isn't good, that's the impression that I get
I'm not a coward, I've just never been tested, I'd like to think that if I was, I would pass
Look at the tested and think there-but-for-the-grace-go-I
I might be a coward, I'm afraid of what I might find out
Never had to knock on wood, but I know someone who has which makes me wonder if I could
It makes me wonder if I, never had to knock on wood and I'm glad I haven't yet
Because I'm sure it isn't good, that's the impression that I get
Solo: (C G Am F) x8
Never had to, I better knock on wood, cause I know someone who has
Which makes me wonder if I could, it makes me wonder if I
Never had to, I better knock on wood, cause I'm sure it isn't good
And I'm glad I haven't yet, that's the impression that I get
