The Impression That I Get

[Intro]
E B C#m G#m A C#m B E

E B C#m A E B C#m A
E B C#m A
E B

[Verse 1]
C#m A         E         B           C#m A
     Have you ever been close to tragedy
        E             B      C#m A
Or been close to folks who have?
         E             B       C#m     A
Have you ever felt the pain so powerful
   E        B     C#m A
So heavy you collapse?
F#m A
No,  well

[Chorus]
F#m A     E                     B
     I've never had to knock on wood
                         G#m
But I know someone who has  
                               A
Which makes me wonder if I could
It makes me wonder if
     E                     B
I've never had to knock on wood
                         G#m
And I'm glad I haven't yet  
                             A
Because I'm sure it isn't good
That's the impression that I get

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
C#m
A         E             B             C#m       A
 Have you ever felt the odds stacked up  so high
           E                  B     C#m A
You need a strength most don't possess?
          E         B         C#m   A
Or has it ever come down to doordie?
              E         B      C#m A
You've got to rise above the rest 
F#m A
No,  well

[Chorus]
F#m A     E                     B
     I've never had to knock on wood
                         G#m
But I know someone who has  
                               A
Which makes me wonder if I could
It makes me wonder if
     E                     B
I've never had to knock on wood
                         G#m
And I'm glad I haven't yet  
                             A
Because I'm sure it isn't good
That's the impression that I get

[Bridge]
F#m A F#m A F#m A E

[Break]
E        B
 I'm not a coward,
     C#m             G#m   A
I've just never been tested
         C#m                            B   E
I'd like to think that if I was I would pass
        B
Look at the tested,
    C#m                  G#m            A
and think "there but for the grace go I"
         C#m
Might be a  coward,
                   B
I'm afraid of what I might find out

[Chorus]
E                     B
Never had to knock on wood
                         G#m
But I know someone who has  
                               A
Which makes me wonder if I could
It makes me wonder if
     E                     B
I've never had to knock on wood
                         G#m
And I'm glad I haven't yet  
                             A
Because I'm sure it isn't good
That's the impression that I get

[Outro]

 I've never had to,
                           B
but I'd better knock on wood
                           C#m
Cause I know someone who has  
                               A
Which makes me wonder if I could
It makes me wonder if
    E
I've never had to,
                           B
but I'd better knock on wood
                           C#m
Cause I'm sure it isn't good  
                         A
And I'm glad I haven't yet
That's the impression that I get.
