 Skill overcomes, difficult situations.

 *** Chorus
 
 A                C             D          F           
 A straight line exists between me and the good things.
 A                 C               D         F          
 I have found the line and its direction is known to me.
 A                        C           D         F     
 Absolute trust keeps me going in the right direction.
 A                C          D                 F          
 Any intrusion is met with a heart full of the good thing.

 G       Em     G Em        G       Em G Em 
 Try to compare  what I am presenting.
 G        Em   G Em         G       Em G Em 
 You will meet  with much frustration.
 G        Em G   Em          G     Em G Em 
 Try to find ... similar situation.
 G        Em   G  Em             G    Em G Em 
 You will always find the same solution.
 
 
 A                   C                  D           F         
 As the heart finds the good thing, the feeling is multiplied.
 A                   C               D       F         
 Add the will to the strength and it equals conviction.
 A              C     D         F          
 As we economise, efficiency is multiplied,
 A                 C           D               F            
 To the extent I am determined the result is the good thing.
 So I say:
 
 Gm                       F             
 I have adopted this and made it my own:
 Gm                          F                   
 Cut back the weakness, reinforce what is strong.
 Gm                       F             
 I have adopted this and made it my own:
 Gm                          F                   
 Cut back the weakness, reinforce what is strong.
