The verses are probably better tabbed out, but I think that you can get away with the
progression in the pre-choruses and chorus. It’s definitely not perfect, but it’s
a devent cheat. Hope this helps.

Verse: G and D alternating improv pattern
Prechorus: C, G, D The C goes two beats, the G goes two beats the D goes four beats.
Chorus: G, D, Em, C each chord lasts a measure

No time now for losing tempers
or filling up with rage or anger
flying off the handle could be detrimental
calmer hands are called for here

Pre chorus
a breath or two might be applied
we’ll count to ten and then decide
a rash decision – crash collision
damage done beyond repair

Chorus
kinder words here we could pick
a kind approach might do the trick
hurt you, hurt me, well that needs to stop
kinder words here we could choose
we’ve kind of got a lot to lose
the temperature we need that to drop

Verse 2
a wrong move now might spell disaster
a selfish one might spell it faster
let’s relax, review the facts
for all involved that might be best

Prechorus
a world of difference might be made
if our next move could be delayed
we’ll sort it out and we’ll talk about
just what it was that caused this mess

Chorus
kinder words here we could pick
a kind approach might do the trick
hurt you, hurt me, that’s the worst thing we could do
kinder words here we could choose
we’ve kind of got a lot to lose
watch what we say, don’t walk away, we’ll see it through

Repeat Chorus 1
kinder words here we could pick
a kind approach might do the trick
hurt you, hurt me, well that needs to stop
kinder words here we could choose
we’ve kind of got a lot to lose
the temperature we need that to drop

Intro: ( C G C Em F Am Am G ) x2 (C G Am F)x4

Have you ever been close to tragedy or been close to folks who have?
Have you ever felt a pain so powerful so heavy you collapse?[Dm-F][Dm-F]

No, I never had to knock on wood, but I know someone who has which makes me wonder if I could
It makes me wonder if I, never had to knock on wood and I’m glad I haven’t yet
Because I’m sure it isn’t good, that’s the impression that I get

Solo: (C G Am F) x4

Have you ever had the odds stacked up so high? you need a strength most don’t possess
Or has it ever come down to do or die? you’ve got to rise above the rest[Dm-F][Dm-F]

No, I never had to knock on wood, but I know someone who has which makes me wonder if I could
It makes me wonder if I, never had to knock on wood and I’m glad I haven’t yet
Because I’m sure it isn’t good, that’s the impression that I g[Dm-F]et[Dm-F][Dm-F]

I’m not a coward, I’ve just never been tested, I’d like to think that if I was, I would pass

Look at the tested and think there-but-for-the-grace-go-I

I might be a coward, I’m afraid of what I might find out

Never had to knock on wood, but I know someone who has which makes me wonder if I could
It makes me wonder if I, never had to knock on wood and I’m glad I haven’t yet
Because I’m sure it isn’t good, that’s the impression that I get

Solo: (C G Am F) x8

Never had to, I better knock on wood, cause I know someone who has
Which makes me wonder if I could, it makes me wonder if I
Never had to, I better knock on wood, cause I’m sure it isn’t good
And I’m glad I haven’t yet, that’s the impression that I get

A familiar joint Where getting drunk’s the only point
To frequent this place With any frequency at all
Countin’ on a remedy I’ve counted on before
Goin’ with a cure that’s never failed me
What you call the disease, I call the remedy
What you’re callin’ the cause, I call the cure
Gonna sing a song, a song to you A song I’ve sung before
Belt out a ballad that I’ve belted out a million times or more
The words I’m gonna scream And getting drunk’s the central theme
To the lyrics, if you can Make the lyrics out at all

Bridge:
Just a devotion to a potion Now please no applause
A dedication to a medication A crutch a cure a cause
What I’ve counted on to pick me up Has knocked me to my knees
Before I hit the floor once more I’ll call it the disease
