[Verse 1]
B F# E B
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will
B F# E B
When the road you're walking seems all uphill
B F# E B
When the cost of living leaves you wondering why
B F# E B
You'd like to crack a smile, but you have to cry
[Chorus]
F# G# E B E F# E
When all the world is looming dark
F# G# E B E F# E
And things seem not so clear
F# G3 E B E F# E
When the shadows seem to hover around
F# G# E
Take the challenge, don't have no fear
[Verse 2]
B F# E B
This life is odd, with its twists and turns
B F# E B
It's something almost everyone someday will learn
B F# E B
But don't you ever give in, though the pace seems slow
B F# E B
You've got to take this challenge with another blow
[Chorus]
F# G# E B E F# E
When all the world is looming dark
F# G# E B E F# E
And things seem not so clear
F# G3 E B E F# E
When the shadows seem to hover around
F# G# E
Take the challenge, don't have no fear.
