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) (x02423@1)         A(9) (x02423@1)            D(9) (xx0210@1)     EWhen (022100@1)I let you go, I cursed myself with empty hands
A(9) (x02423@1)              A(9) (x02423@1)       D(9) (xx0210@1)             E (022100@1)Strong enough to watch you walk, but not enough to understand it
A(9) (x02423@1)          A(9) (x02423@1)             D(9) (xx0210@1) E (022100@1)With spiteful eyes you burn for my grace
A(9) (x02423@1)                    A(9) (x02423@1)       D(9) (xx0210@1)           E (022100@1)I was trying to stand outside of this, you were trying to save face

E (022100@1)        E (022100@1)             D(9) (xx0210@1)        D(9) (xx0210@1)You can say that I don't care (I don't care)
E (022100@1)       E (022100@1)            D(9) (xx0210@1)  D(9) (xx0210@1)You can hope that we still have something left to
  A (x02220@1)                E (022100@1)                D(9) (xx0210@1)D(9)share; (xx0210@1)But just between you, baby, and me
A (x02220@1)        E (022100@1)               D(9) (xx0210@1)D(9) (xx0210@1)Just between me, baby, and you
                  A(9) (x02423@1)A(9) (x02423@1)D(9) (xx0210@1)EThere's (022100@1)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) (x02423@1)            A(9) (x02423@1)       D(9) (xx0210@1)           E (022100@1)      A (x02220@1)  A (x02220@1)It hurts you to realize, so leave well enough, enough alone

D (xx0232@1)          D (xx0232@1)        E (022100@1)           E (022100@1)You don't need my hands to help you understand
A (x02220@1)          A (x02220@1)          D (xx0232@1)                    D (xx0232@1)You don't need to hear my voice (you have no choice)
D (xx0232@1)             D (xx0232@1)               E (022100@1)                E (022100@1)So don't be throwing stones; the closer we get, the harder they come
     A (x02220@1)                      A (x02220@1)             D (xx0232@1)  DNow, (xx0232@1)even if you're feeling alone, don't come home

E (022100@1)     E (022100@1)                D (xx0232@1) D (xx0232@1)'Cause when it was up to you (when it was up to you)
E (022100@1)E (022100@1)                D (xx0232@1)     D (xx0232@1)  When it was up to you, you left it up to
 A (x02220@1) E/A (002100@1) D(9) (xx0210@1)  Eme (022100@1)(me...)     You left it up to
 A (x02220@1)        E/A (002100@1)        D(9) (xx0210@1)        Eme, (022100@1)oh you left, oh you left it up to me
E (022100@1)E (022100@1)                D(9) (xx0210@1)  D(9) (xx0210@1)            A(9) (x02423@1)A(9) (x02423@1)D (xx0232@1)E (022100@1) A.
   When it was up to you, you left it up to me
