Rise To The Occasion by Kurt Nilsen
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

You've been down the dark detours
You have seen most of it all
Crashed into the million faces
But never listened to them talk
You've got so much on your mind right now
It doesn't even help to try to solve them all
You used to smile when hope and a pat on the back
Would last throughout the day
As the rain kept falling down on you
You wouldn't let them wash the feeling away
Hope itself dried out in you as you heard your man walking away
Without a word
You thought
Who's gonna make my decisions, I can't make them on my own
Who's gonna rise to the occasion when there is no one around
Who the hell is gonna believe me, I dont believe in myself
Who's gonna be there forever, well it ain't gonna be him
In case you didn't know I really care for you
I just wish you all the best
And if love should come and knock on your door
I hope it treats you with respect
I cannot count the times I've seen you
Oh just slipping away with a broken heart
You thought
Who's gonna make my decisions, I can't make them on my own
Who's gonna rise to the occasion when there is no one around
Who the hell is gonna believe me, I dont believe in myself
Who's gonna be there forever, well it ain't gonna be him
No no no
Everybody is going away, I'm barely hanging on
No no no
Do not lovers seek me, what am I doing wrong?
Who's gonna make my decisions, I can't make them on my own
Who's gonna rise to the occasion when there is no one around
Who the hell is gonna believe me, I dont believe in myself
Who's gonna be there forever, well it ain't gonna be him
Who's gonna make my decisions, I can't make them on my own
Who's gonna rise to the occasion when there is no one around
Who the hell is gonna believe me, I dont believe in myself
