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