EBAAE type 2 Everything went from bad to worse, money never changed a thing,
EBAAE type 2 Death kept followin', trackin' us down, at least I heard your bluebird sing.
B type 2 EEBAE type 2 Now somebody's got to show their hand, time is an enemy,
EBAEB type 2 EA I know you're long gone, I guess it must be up to me.
EBAAE type 2 If I'd thought about it I never would've done it, I guess I would've let it slide,
EBAAE type 2 If I'd lived my life by what others were thinkin', the heart inside me would've died.
B type 2 EEBAE type 2 I was just too stubborn to ever be governed by enforced insanity,
EBAEB type 2 EA Someone had to reach for the risin' star, I guess it was up to me.
EBAAE type 2 Oh, the Union Central is pullin' out and the orchids are in bloom,
EBAAE type 2 I've only got me one good shirt left and it smells of stale perfume.
B type 2 EEBAE type 2 In fourteen months I've only smiled once and I didn't do it consciously,
EBAEB type 2 EA 2X Somebody's got to find your trail, I guess it must be up to me.
 
EB type 2 EA
 
EBAAE type 2 It was like a revelation when you betrayed me with your touch,
EBAAE type 2 I'd just about convinced myself that nothin' had changed that much
B type 2 EEBAE type 2 The old Rounder in the iron mask slipped me the master key,
EBAEB type 2 EA Somebody had to unlock your heart, He said it was up to me.
EBAAE type 2 Well, I watched you slowly disappear down into the officers' club,
EBAAE type 2 I would've followed you in the door but I didn't have a ticket stub.
B type 2 EEBAE type 2 So I waited all night 'til the break of day, hopin' one of us could get free,
EBAEB type 2 EA When the dawn came over the river bridge, I knew it was up to me.
EBAAE type 2 Oh, the only decent thing I did when I worked as a postal clerk
EBAAE type 2 Was to haul your picture down off the wall near the cage where I used to work.
B type 2 EEBAE type 2 Was I a fool or not to try to protect your identity?
EBAEB type 2 EA You looked a little burned out, my friend, I thought it might be up to me.
 
EB type 2 EA
 
EBAAE type 2 Well, I met somebody face to face and I had to remove my hat,
EBAAE type 2 She's everything I need and love but I can't be swayed by that.
B type 2 EEBAE type 2 It frightens me, the awful truth of how sweet life can be,
EBAEB type 2 EA But she ain't a-gonna make me move, I guess it must be up to me.
 
EB type 2 EA
 
EBAAE type 2 We heard the Sermon on the Mount and I knew it was too complex,
EBAAE type 2 It didn't amount to anything more than what the broken glass reflects.
B type 2 EEBAE type 2 When you bite off more than you can chew you pay the penalty,
EBAEB type 2 EA Somebody's got to tell the tale, I guess it must be up to me.
EBAAE type 2 Well, Dupree came in pimpin' tonight to the Thunderbird Cafe,
EBAAE type 2 Crystal wanted to talk to him, I had to look the other way.
B type 2 EEBAE type 2 Well, I just can't rest without you, love, I need your company,
EBAEB type 2 EA But you ain't a-gonna cross the line, I guess it must be up to me.
EBAAE type 2 There's a note left in the bottle, you can give it to Estelle,
EBAAE type 2 She's the one you been wond'rin' about, but there's really nothin' much to tell.
B type 2 EEBAE type 2 We both heard voices for a while, now the rest is history,
EBAEB type 2 EA Somebody's got to cry some tears, I guess it must be up to me.
EBAAE type 2 So go on, boys, and play your hands, life is a pantomime,
EBAAE type 2 The ringleaders from the county seat say you don't have all that much time.
B type 2 EEBAE type 2 And the girl with me behind the shades, she ain't my property,
EBAEB type 2 EA One of us has got to hit the road, I guess it must be up to me.
EBAAE type 2 And if we never meet again, baby, remember me,
EBAAE type 2 How my lone guitar played sweet for you that old-time melody.
B type 2 EEBAE type 2 And the harmonica around my neck, I blew it for you, free,
EBAEB type 2 EA No one else could play that tune, You know it was up to me.
