YOU LEFT IT UP TO ME (Amy Ray)
------------------------------
[Each chord is half a measure.]
[A=x07600, D=xx0230, E/A=x02100.]
A A(9) D E A A D(9) E
[intro]
A A(9) D E
When I let you go, I cursed myself with empty hands
A A(9) D E
Strong enough to watch you walk, but not enough to understand it
A A(9) D E
With spiteful eyes you burn for my grace
A A(9) D E
I was trying to stand outside of this, you were trying to save face
E E D D(9)
You can say that I don't care (I don't care)
E E D D(9)
You can hope that we still have something left to
A E D D(9)
share; But just between you, baby, and me
A E D D(9)
Just between me, baby, and you
A A(9) D 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 A(9) D E A A
It hurts you to realize, so leave well enough, enough alone
D You don't neDed my handsE to help you uEnderstand
A You don't neAed to hear myD voice (you have no choDice)
D So don't be thrDowing stones; the Ecloser we get, the Eharder they come
Now, Aeven if you're feeling alAone, don't come Dhome D
E 'Cause Ewhen it was up to yDou (Dwhen it was up to you)
E EWhen it was up to yDou, you Dleft it up to
mAe (mE/Ae...) D YEou left it up to
mAe, oh you lE/Aeft, oh you lDeft it up tEo me
E E D D(9) A A(9) D E A.
When it was up to you, you left it up to me
