If It Was Up To Me chords by Hayes Carll

[Intro]

 C   Am     Gsus4    F   
 
[Verse]

          C            Am
If it was up to me the fish would all be bitin',
    G                              
the words would not need writin', 
            F
they'd just fall out of my pen.
          C                 Am
If it was up to me my bankaccount would have more zeroes,
       G                              
I'd be friends with all my heroes and 
       F
they'd call me now and then.
 
[Chorus]

   F                   G
If it was up to me I'd live out by the sea
    C           C/E            F
and order extra rum with every single drink.
    F      G       Am    Am         G   F  
I'd let it and the waves drown your memory,
   F      G     C
if it was up to me.
 
[Verse]

          C             Am
If it was up to me we'd all be driving eighty,
       G                 
I'd be livin' like they 
                   F
paid me instead of working to get paid.
          C              Am
If it was up to me my mistakes would not outlive me,
         G                      
and everyone could just forgive 
       F
me for all the ones I've made.
 
[Chorus]

   F                        G
If it was up to me I'd have my own money tree,
    C               C/E                 F
and I'd buy all the things that I don't really need.
       F       G      Am          Am     G       F  
They'd help me not to think about how we used to be,
   F      G     F 
if it was up to me.
 
[Interlude]

 F    Am     F   Am       
 F    Am     G    G         
 
[Verse]

          C            Am
If it was up to me the Stros would win the season,
    G                           F
and I'd have every reason to go out and paint the town.
          C             Am
If it was up to me this life would be so easy,
     G                                     F
everyone would aim to please me and they'd never let me down.
 
[Chorus 3]
   F                   G
If it was up to me I'd have no enemies,
      C                 C/E           F
I'd receive the grace I need without apology.
    F      G      Am         Am        G   F
And no one that I love would ever have to leave,
   F      G     Am    G 
if it was up to me
    F        G     C
but it's not up to me.
 
[Outro]

 C       Am       G       F     
 C
