MI LA
Every thing went from bad to worse money never changed a thing
MI LA
Death kept following trackin us down at least I heard your bluebird sing
SOL#m MI LA
Now somebody's got to show their hand time is but an enemy
LA MI SI DO#m MI LA MI LA MI LA
I know you're long gone I guess it must be up to me
MI
If I'd thought about it I never would have done it
LA
I guess I would a let it slide
MI
If I'd a pay attention to what others were thinking
LA
This heart inside of me would have died
SOL#m MI
I was just too stubborn to ever be governed
LA
By enforced insanity
LA MI SI DO#m MI LA MI LA MI LA
Someone had to reach for the risin star I guess it was up to me
MI LA
Well the Union Central is pullin out and the orchids are in bloom
MI LA
I've only got me one good shirt left and it smells like stale perfume
SOL#m MI LA
In fourteen months I've only smiled once I didn't do it consciously
MI SI DO#m MI LA MI LA MI LA
Somebody's got to find your trail and I guess it had to be up to me
MI LA
It was like a revelation when you betrayed me with your touch
MI LA
I'd had just about convinced myself that nothing had changed that
much
SOL#m MI LA
The old rounder in the iron mask he slipped me the master key
MI SI DO#m MI LA MI LA MI LA
Somebody had to unlock your heart he said it was up to me
MI LA
Well I watched you slowly disappear down into the officer's club
MI LA
I would have followed you in the door but I didn't have a ticket stub
SOL#m MI
So I waited all night long till the break of day hoping one of us
would get
LA
FAree
MI SI DO#m MI LA MI LA MI LA
When the dawn came over the river bridge I knew it was up to me
MI LA
Well the only decent thing I did was when I worked as a postal clerk
MI LA
Was to haul your picture down off the wall near the cage where I use
to
SOL#m MI LA
work I was a fool not to try to protect your idenity
MI SI DO#m MI
You looked a little burned out my friend
LA MI LA MI LA
I thought it might be up to me
MI LA
When I met somebody face to face I had to remove my hat
MI LA
She's everything I need and love but I can't be swayed by that
SOL#m MI LA
It frightens me the awful truth how sweet life can be
MI SI DO#m MI LA MI LA MI LA
But she ain't a gonna make a move I guess it must be up to me
MI LA
We heard the sermon on the mount and I knew it was too complex
MI LA
It didn't amount to anything more than what a broken glass reflects
G#m, E A
When you bite off more than you can chew you pay the penalty
MI SI DO#m MI LA MI LA MI LA
Somebody's got to tell the tale I guess it must be up to me
MI LA
Well Dupree came a pimping tonight to the Thunderbird Cafe
MI LA
Crystal wanted to talk to him I had to look the other way
SOL#m MI LA
Now I just can't rest without your love I need your company
MI SI DO#m MI LA MI LA MI LA
But you ain't a gonna cross the line I guess it must be up to me
MI LA
There's a note left in the bottle you can give it to Estelle
MI LA
She's the one you've been wondering about there's really nothin much
to
tell
SOL#m MI LA
We both heard voices for awhile now the rest is history
MI SI DO#m MI LA MI LA MI LA
Somebody's got to cry some tears I guess it must be up to me
MI LA
So go on boys and play your hands life is but a pantomine
MI LA
The ringleaders from the county seat say you don't have all that much
time
SOL#m MI LA
And the girl with me behind the shades she ain't my property
MI SI DO#m MI LA MI LA MI LA
One of us has got to hit the road I guess it must be up to me
MI LA
And if we never meet again baby remember me
MI LA
How my lone guitar played sweet for you that old time melody
SOL#m MI LA
And the rickenbacker around my leg I played it for you for free
MI SI DO#m MI LA MI LA MI LA MI
No one else could play that tune you know it was up to me
