[Verse 1]
G# D# C# G#
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will
G# D# C# G#
When the road you're walking seems all uphill
G# D# C# G#
When the cost of living leaves you wondering why
G# D# C# G#
You'd like to crack a smile, but you have to cry
[Chorus]
D# F C# G# C# D# C#
When all the world is looming dark
D# F C# G# C# D# C#
And things seem not so clear
D# E3 C# G# C# D# C#
When the shadows seem to hover around
D# F C#
Take the challenge, don't have no fear
[Verse 2]
G# D# C# G#
This life is odd, with its twists and turns
G# D# C# G#
It's something almost everyone someday will learn
G# D# C# G#
But don't you ever give in, though the pace seems slow
G# D# C# G#
You've got to take this challenge with another blow
[Chorus]
D# F C# G# C# D# C#
When all the world is looming dark
D# F C# G# C# D# C#
And things seem not so clear
D# E3 C# G# C# D# C#
When the shadows seem to hover around
D# F C#
Take the challenge, don't have no fear.
