[Verse 1]
E B A E
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will
E B A E
When the road you're walking seems all uphill
E B A E
When the cost of living leaves you wondering why
E B A E
You'd like to crack a smile, but you have to cry
[Chorus]
B C# A E A B A
When all the world is looming dark
B C# A E A B A
And things seem not so clear
B C3 A E A B A
When the shadows seem to hover around
B C# A
Take the challenge, don't have no fear
[Verse 2]
E B A E
This life is odd, with its twists and turns
E B A E
It's something almost everyone someday will learn
E B A E
But don't you ever give in, though the pace seems slow
E B A E
You've got to take this challenge with another blow
[Chorus]
B C# A E A B A
When all the world is looming dark
B C# A E A B A
And things seem not so clear
B C3 A E A B A
When the shadows seem to hover around
B C# A
Take the challenge, don't have no fear.
