Verse 2
A
E
If I'd thought about it
I never would've done it,
A
I guess I would've let it slide,
By what others were thinkin',

I was just too stubborn
By enforced insanity,
A
E
Someone had to reach
A
E
I guess it was up to me.
B
Oh,
Verse 3
E
A
E
the Union Central

One good shirt left

A
E
Well, I watched you slowly
disappear
A
Down into the officers' club,

Hopin' one of us could get free,
E

When the dawn came over the river bridge,
A

I knew it was up to me.

E
Oh,
Verse 6
A
E
the only decent thing I did
A
When I worked as a postal clerk
E
Was to haul your picture
Near the cage where I used to work.
Was I a fool or not

You looked a little
Burned out, my friend,
B
A
I thought it might be up to me.

Well, I met somebody face to face

Verse 8
A

We heard the Sermon on the Mount

When you bite off more
You pay the penalty,

Somebody's got to tell the tale,

I guess it must be up to me.

There's a note left in the bottle,

You can give it to Estelle,
You been wond'rin' about,
Nothin' much to tell.

You know it was up to me.
