YOU LEFT IT UP TO ME (Amy Ray)
------------------------------
[Each chord is half a measure.]
[A(9)=x07600, D(9)=xx0230, E/A=x02100.]
A(9) A(9) D(9) E A(9) A(9) D(9) E
[intro]
A(9) A(9) D(9) E
When I let you go, I cursed myself with empty hands
A(9) A(9) D(9) E
Strong enough to watch you walk, but not enough to understand it
A(9) A(9) D(9) E
With spiteful eyes you burn for my grace
A(9) A(9) D(9) E
I was trying to stand outside of this, you were trying to save face
E E D(9) D(9)
You can say that I don't care (I don't care)
E E D(9) D(9)
You can hope that we still have something left to
A E D(9) D(9)
share; But just between you, baby, and me
A E D(9) D(9)
Just between me, baby, and you
A(9) A(9) D(9) E
There's nothing there
I finally found someone I can hold
You ask me to defend myself, as if I shouldn't be so bold
Well, get that look off of your face
I don't have the time, (I don't have the time) and you don't have the place
To say that I don't care (I don't care)
And hope that we still have something left to share
But just between me, baby, and you
Just between you, baby, and me
There's nothing there
[Instrumental, same chords as one verse]
Baby, what are you gonna do?
I can't salvage any truth from you
Everybody else already knows
A(9) A(9) D(9) E A A
It hurts you to realize, so leave well enough, enough alone
D D E E
You don't need my hands to help you understand
A A D D
You don't need to hear my voice (you have no choice)
D D E E
So don't be throwing stones; the closer we get, the harder they come
A A D D
Now, even if you're feeling alone, don't come home
E E D D
'Cause when it was up to you (when it was up to you)
E E D D
When it was up to you, you left it up to
A E/A D(9) E
me (me...) You left it up to
A E/A D(9) E
me, oh you left, oh you left it up to me
E E D(9) D(9) A(9) A(9) D E A.
When it was up to you, you left it up to me
