[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]

No..
[Chorus]
E B
I never had to knock on wood
G#m
But I know someone who has
A
Which makes me wonder if I could
A
It makes me wonder if I
E B
Never had to knock on wood
G#m
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]

[Verse 3]
E B
Have you ever had the odds stacked up so high
C#m A
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
[Pre-Chorus]

[Verse 4]
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]
E B
I never had to knock on wood
G#m
But I know someone who has
A
Which makes me wonder if I could
It makes me wonder if I

Never had to, I better knock on wood
C#m
Cause I know someone who has

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
