You Left It Up To Me

	  		      E          E 
{intro} 
 
                                        E 
When I let you go, I cursed myself with empty hands 
                                        E 
 Strong enough to watch you walk, but not enough to understand it 
                              E 
 With spiteful eyes you burn for my grace 
                                            E 
 I was trying to stand outside of this, you were trying to save face 
 
E          E                          
 You can say that I don't care (I don't care) 
E         E                   
 You can hope that we still have something left to 
  A                  E                     
share; But just between you, baby, and me 
A          E                    
 Just between me, baby, and you 
                        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 
                                    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       E 
me (me...)     You left it up to 
 A          E/A                    E 
me, oh you left, oh you left it up to me 
E  E                                        D  E   A. 
   When it was up to you, you left it up to me
