[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]
