[Verse 1]
D A G D
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will
D A G D
When the road you're walking seems all uphill
D A G D
When the cost of living leaves you wondering why
D A G D
You'd like to crack a smile, but you have to cry
[Chorus]
A B G D G A G
When all the world is looming dark
A B G D G A G
And things seem not so clear
A A#3 G D G A G
When the shadows seem to hover around
A B G
Take the challenge, don't have no fear
[Verse 2]
D A G D
This life is odd, with its twists and turns
D A G D
It's something almost everyone someday will learn
D A G D
But don't you ever give in, though the pace seems slow
D A G D
You've got to take this challenge with another blow
[Chorus]
A B G D G A G
When all the world is looming dark
A B G D G A G
And things seem not so clear
A A#3 G D G A G
When the shadows seem to hover around
A B G
Take the challenge, don't have no fear.
