  |  Rise to the occasion  |
  *------------------------*

             Am           G
You’ve been down the dark detours
         F               C
You have seen most of it all
Am                       G
Crashed into the million faces
          F                C
But never listened to them talk
           Am              G
You’ve got so much on your mind right now
           F            C                 Am G F
It doesn’t even help to try to solve them all


            Am                     G
You used to smile with hope and a pat on the back
      F                   C
would last throughout the day
       Am                G
As the rain kept falling down on you
             F                         C
You wouldn't let them wash the feeling away
Am                G                 F                      C
Hope itself dried out in you as you heard your man walking away
        Am     G F C
Without a word

            
      C
You thought
                    G                                  Am
Who’s gonna make my decisions, I can’t make them on my own
                        F                             C
Who’s gonna rise to the occasion when there is no one around
                      G                                  Am
Who the hell is gonna believe me, when I dont believe in myself
                     F                           Am     G F C
Who’s gonna be there forever, well it aint gonna be him


   Am                            G
In case you didn’t know I really care for you
        F                C
I just wish you all the best
    Am                   G
If love should come and knock on your door
           F               C
I hope it treats you with respect
  Am                 G
I can not count the times I’ve seen you
F                  C                 Am  G F
Oh just slipping away with a broken heart


      C
You thought
                    G                                  Am
Who’s gonna make my decisions, I can’t make them on my own
                        F                             C
Who’s gonna rise to the occasion when there is no one around
                      G                                  Am
Who the hell is gonna believe me, when I dont believe in myself
                     F                           Am     G F
Who’s gonna be there forever, well it aint gonna be him


C     Am
Oh no
G                  F         C              Am
Everybody is going away, I’m barely hanging on
G        F
No no no
C              Am         G               F
Do not lovers seeking me, what am I doing wrong?


 C                     G                                  Am
   Who’s gonna make my decisions, I can’t make them on my own
                        F                             C
Who’s gonna rise to the occasion when there is no one around
                      G                                  Am
Who the hell is gonna believe me, when I dont believe in myself
                     F                           C   
Who’s gonna be there forever, well it aint gonna be him
                    G                                  Am
Who’s gonna make my decisions, I can’t make them on my own
                        F                             C
Who’s gonna rise to the occasion when there is no one around
                      G                                  Am
Who the hell is gonna believe me, when I dont believe in myself
                     F                           Am     G F C
Who’s gonna be there forever, well it aint gonna be him
