If It Was Up To Me chords

[Intro]
| C          | Am         | Gsus4      | F          |
 
[Verse 1]
          C            Am
If it was up to me the fish would all be bitin',
    G                                         F
the words would not need writin', they'd just fall out of my pen.
          C                 Am
If it was up to me my bankaccount would have more zeroes,
       G                                     F
I'd be friends with all my heroes and they'd call me now and then.
 
[Chorus 1]
   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 2]
          C             Am

If it was up to me we'd all be driving eighty,
       G                                   F
I'd be livin' like they paid me instead of working to get paid.
          C              Am
If it was up to me my mistakes would not outlive me,
         G                             F
and everyone could just forgive me for all the ones I've made.
 
[Chorus 2]
   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]

[Verse 3]
          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.
