Intro   E  B  E  G#m  A  C#m  C#m  B (x 2)


Verse   E  B  E  A


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

Have you ever felt the pain so powerful, so heavy you collapse?


Pre chorus  F# A (x 2)


E                          B                            C#     
I've never had to knock on wood, but I know someone who has.
                           A
Which makes me wonder if I could.
A                          E                     B
It makes me wonder if I've never had to knock on wood.
                       C#                            A
And I'm glad I haven't yet because I'm sure it isn't good,
A
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?

Or has it come down to do or die? You've got to rise above the rest.

                           A
Which makes me wonder if I could.
A                          E                     B
It makes me wonder if I've never had to knock on wood.
                       C#                            A
And I'm glad I haven't yet because I'm sure it isn't good,
A
That's the impression that I get.


(Play the same chords used for the intro, in the next verse)


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.

Might be a coward, I'm afraid of what I might find out.


Pre chorus  F# A (x 2)


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



Never have, I'd better knock on wood.

'Cause I know someone who has.

Wonder if I could, it makes me wonder if I've never had to.

I'd 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.
