[Verse 1]
F# C# B F#
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will
F# C# B F#
When the road you're walking seems all uphill
F# C# B F#
When the cost of living leaves you wondering why
F# C# B F#
You'd like to crack a smile, but you have to cry
[Chorus]
C# D# B F# B C# B
When all the world is looming dark
C# D# B F# B C# B
And things seem not so clear
C# D3 B F# B C# B
When the shadows seem to hover around
C# D# B
Take the challenge, don't have no fear
[Verse 2]
F# C# B F#
This life is odd, with its twists and turns
F# C# B F#
It's something almost everyone someday will learn
F# C# B F#
But don't you ever give in, though the pace seems slow
F# C# B F#
You've got to take this challenge with another blow
[Chorus]
C# D# B F# B C# B
When all the world is looming dark
C# D# B F# B C# B
And things seem not so clear
C# D3 B F# B C# B
When the shadows seem to hover around
C# D# B
Take the challenge, don't have no fear.
