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
