Capo on 4th for the original key (on the Biograph CD).
CEverything went from Gbad to worse, Fmoney never changed a thing,
CDeath kept followin', Gtrackin' us down, at Fleast I heard your bluebird sing.
Now Gsomebody's got to shCow their hand, Ctime is an Genemy,F  
CI know you're long Ggone, I Fguess it must be up to Cme.G  C  F  
C     G      F
CIf I'd thought about it I Gnever would've done it, I Fguess I would've let it slide,
CIf I'd lived my life by Gwhat others were thinkin', the Fheart inside me would've died.
I was Gjust too stubborn to Cever be governed by Cenforced iGnsanityF,
CSomeone had to reach for the Grisin' star, I Fguess it was up to Cme.G  C  F  
C     G      F
COh, the Union Central is Gpullin' out and the Forchids are in bloom,
CI've only got me one Ggood shirt left and it Fsmells of stale perfume.
In Gfourteen months I've Conly smiled once and I Cdidn't do it GconsciouslFy,
CSomebody's got to Gfind your trail, I Fguess it must be up to Cme.G  C  F  
C     G      F
CIt was like a reveGlation when you beFtrayed me with your touch,
CI'd just about conGvinced myself that Fnothin' had changed that much.
The Gold Rounder in the iCron mask Cslipped me the Gmaster Fkey,
CSomebody had to unGlock your heart, He Fsaid it was up to Cme.G  C  F  
C     G      F
CWell, I watched you slowly Gdisappear Fdown into the officers' club,
CI would've followed you in the Gdoor but I Fdidn't have a ticket stub.
So GI waited all night 'til the Cbreak of day, Chopin' one of uGs could get Ffree,
CWhen the dawn came over the Griver bridge, I Fknew it was up to Cme.G  C  F  
C     G      F
COh, the only decent thing I Gdid when I Fworked as a postal clerk
CWas to haul your picture down Goff the wall near the Fcage where I used to work.
Was GI a fool or Cnot to try to Cprotect your iGdentity?F  
CYou looked a little burned Gout, my friend, I Fthought it might be up to Cme.G  C  F  
C     G      F
CWell, I met somebody Gface to face and I Fhad to remove my hat,
CShe's everything I Gneed and love but I Fcan't be swayed by that.
It Gfrightens me, the Cawful truth of Chow sweet Glife can Fbe,
CBut she ain't a-gonna Gmake me move, I Fguess it must be up to Cme.G  C  F  
C     G      F
CWe heard the Sermon Gon the Mount and I Fknew it was too complex,
CIt didn't amount to Ganything more than what the Fbroken glass reflects.
When you Gbite off more than Cyou can chew you Cpay the Gpenalty,F  
CSomebody's got to Gtell the tale, I Fguess it must be up to Cme.G  C  F  
C     G      F
CWell, Dupree came in Gpimpin' tonight to the FThunderbird Cafe,
CCrystal wanted to Gtalk to him, I Fhad to look the other way.
Well, I jGust can't rest wCithout you, love, I Cneed your Gcompany,F  
CBut you ain't a-gonna Gcross the line, I Fguess it must be up to Cme.G  C  F  
C     G      F
CThere's a note left in the Gbottle, you can Fgive it to Estelle,
CShe's the one you been Gwond'rin' about, but there's Freally nothin' much to tell.
GWe both heard voices Cfor a while, now the Crest is Ghistory,F  
CSomebody's got to Gcry some tears, I Fguess it must be up to Cme.G  C  F  
C     G      F
CSo go on, boys, and Gplay your hands, Flife is a pantomime,
CThe ringleaders from the Gcounty seat say you Fdon't have all that much time.
GAnd the girl with me Cbehind the shades, Cshe ain't Gmy propertyF,
COne of us has got to Ghit the road, I Fguess it must be up to Cme.G  C  F  
CAnd if we never Gmeet again, Fbaby, remember me,
CHow my lone guitar played Gsweet for you that Fold-time melody.

Capo on 4th for the original key (on the Biograph CD).

C G F

Everything went from bad to worse, money never changed a thing,

C G F

Death kept followin', trackin' us down, at least I heard your bluebird sing.

G C C G F

Now somebody's got to show their hand, time is an enemy,

C G F C G C F

I know you're long gone, I guess it must be up to me.

C G F

If I'd thought about it I never would've done it, I guess I would've let it slide,

C G F

If I'd lived my life by what others were thinkin', the heart inside me would've died.

G C C G F

I was just too stubborn to ever be governed by enforced insanity,

C G F C G C F

Someone had to reach for the risin' star, I guess it was up to me.

C G F

Oh, the Union Central is pullin' out and the orchids are in bloom,

C G F

I've only got me one good shirt left and it smells of stale perfume.

G C C G F

In fourteen months I've only smiled once and I didn't do it consciously,

C G F C G C F

Somebody's got to find your trail, I guess it must be up to me.

C G F

It was like a revelation when you betrayed me with your touch,

C G F

I'd just about convinced myself that nothin' had changed that much.

G C C G F

The old Rounder in the iron mask slipped me the master key,

C G F C G C F

Somebody had to unlock your heart, He said it was up to me.

C G F

Well, I watched you slowly disappear down into the officers' club,

C G F

I would've followed you in the door but I didn't have a ticket stub.

G C C G F

So I waited all night 'til the break of day, hopin' one of us could get free,

When the dawn came over the river bridge, I knew it was up to me.

Oh, the only decent thing I did when I worked as a postal clerk

She's everything I need and love but I can't be swayed by that.

G C C G F

It frightens me, the awful truth of how sweet life can be,

C G F C G C F

But she ain't a-gonna make me move, I guess it must be up to me.

We heard the Sermon on the Mount and I knew it was too complex,

It didn't amount to anything more than what the broken glass reflects.

When you bite off more than you can chew you pay the penalty,

Somebody's got to tell the tale, I guess it must be up to me.
