[Verse 1]
A E D A
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will
A E D A
When the road you're walking seems all uphill
A E D A
When the cost of living leaves you wondering why
A E D A
You'd like to crack a smile, but you have to cry
[Chorus]
E F# D A D E D
When all the world is looming dark
E F# D A D E D
And things seem not so clear
E F3 D A D E D
When the shadows seem to hover around
E F# D
Take the challenge, don't have no fear
[Verse 2]
A E D A
This life is odd, with its twists and turns
A E D A
It's something almost everyone someday will learn
A E D A
But don't you ever give in, though the pace seems slow
A E D A
You've got to take this challenge with another blow
[Chorus]
E F# D A D E D
When all the world is looming dark
E F# D A D E D
And things seem not so clear
E F3 D A D E D
When the shadows seem to hover around
E F# D
Take the challenge, don't have no fear.
