Up To Me

E                                  A

Every thing went from bad to worse 
money never changed a thing
E                              
Death kept following  trackin us 
          A
down at least I heard your bluebird
sing
    G#m               E        
Now somebody's got to show their 
                      A
hand time is but an enemy
A E  B C#m         E    A    

                    E  A E A  *

I know you're long gone I guess it 
must be up to me
          E
If I'd  thought about it I never 
would have done it
   A

I guess I would a let it slide
   E

If I'd a pay  attention to what 
others were thinking
     A

This heart inside of me would have 
died
G#m                        E

I was just too stubborn to ever be 
governed
               A

By enforced insanity

Someone had to reach for the risin 
star I guess it was up to me
         E                         

          A

Well the Union Central is pullin out
 and the orchids are in bloom
     E                             

          A

I've only got me one good shirt left
 and it smells like stale perfume
   G#m                  E         

                             A

In fourteen months I've only smiled 
once  I didn't  do it consciously
    E      B      C#m       E   
        A                        E 
A E
A
Somebody's got to find your trail 
and I guess it had to be up to me

It was like a revelation when you 
betrayed me with your touch
         E                         
I'd  had just about convinced 
        A
myself  that nothing had changed 
that
much
       G#m              E         
The old rounder in the iron mask 
                         A
he slipped me the master key
    E     B     C#m         E   
Somebody had to unlock your 
      A                 E  A  E  A *
heart  he said it was up to me
        E                          
Well I watched you slowly disappear
       A
  down into the officer's club
   E                            
I would have followed you in the 
            A
door but I didn't have a ticket stub
     G#m                           
So I waited all night long till the
 E
 break of day  hoping one of us
would get
A
free
         E         B        C#m  
When the dawn came over the river
E         A                 E A 
 bridge I knew it was up to me
E A *

         E                         
Well the only decent thing I did 
   A
was when I worked as a postal clerk
        E                        
Was to haul your picture down off 
          A
the wall near the cage where I use
to
             G#m          E    
work I was a fool  not to try to 
                 A
protect your idenity
     E          B         C#m     
You looked a little burned out my 
E
friend
  A                         E A E
I thought it might be up to me

       E                           
When I met somebody face to face  I
 A
 had to remove my hat
      E                            
She's everything I need and love 
    A
but I can't be swayed by that
   G#m              E             
It frightens me the awful truth   
                   A
how sweet life can be
        E      B      C#m    E  
But she ain't a gonna make a 
    A                      E A E A *
move I guess it must be up to me
    E                              
We heard the sermon on the mount 
    A
and I knew it was too complex
          E                      
It didn't amount to anything more 
             A
than what a broken glass reflects
         G#m,               E     
When you bite off more than you 
                   A
can chew you pay the penalty
E          B      C#m      E    
Somebody's got to tell the tale 
  A                      E A E A *
I guess it must be up to me
      E                            
Well Dupree came a pimping tonight 
  A
 to the Thunderbird Cafe
E                                
Crystal  wanted to talk to him I had
A
 to look the other way
    G#m                E          
Now I  just can't rest without 
                       A
your  love I need your company
    E      B           C#m        
But you ain't a gonna cross the 
 E   A                      E A E A
line I guess it must be up to me
          E                      
There's a note left in the bottle 
         A
you can give it to Estelle
          E                        
She's the one you've been wondering
               A
 about there's really nothin much
to

tell
   G#m               E            
We both heard voices for awhile 
              A
now the rest is history
E         B       C#m      E    
Somebody's got to cry some tears
   A                      E A E A *
 I guess it must be up to me
   E                             
So go on boys and play your hands 
  A
life is but a pantomine
    E                              
The ringleaders from the county 
          A
seat say you don't have all that 
much
time
        G#m           E       
And the girl with me behind the 
                       A
shades she ain't my property
E              B     C#m    E  
One of us has got to hit the 
      A                     E A E A
road I guess it must be up to me
          E                 A
And if we never meet again baby 
remember me
        E                          
How my lone guitar played sweet for
          A
 you that old time melody
        G#m          E            
And the rickenbacker around my leg
                        A
 I played it for you for free
         E  B     C#m        E  
No one else could play that tune
     A                 E A E A  E
 you know it was up to me
