Aaron Lewis - If It Were Up To Me Chords

[Intro]
C G G/B C G G/B C G D
 
[Verse]
           G
If it were up to me
          C               G
I know it ain't but if it was
                C                  G
The land of the free wouldn't cost so much
                      D
And the bank wouldn't own at all
 
[Verse]
                 G
I'd run things differently
         C              G
I know I can't but if I could
                C            G
I'd stand where lady liberty stood
         D
Before I'd let her fall
            C
I'd build a better life
      G
And a bigger wall
 
[Chorus]
           C                                 G
If it were up to me the churches would stay open
           Em                              D
If it were up to me our borders would stay closed
        C                                       G
And the helping then would go to those still working
                         D
Their fingers to the bone
       C              G               D
Can't help but wonder how much better it would be
G
If it were up to me
 
[Verse]
               C                G
The games they play with all of us
        C        G
As our history turns to dust
             D
Would all be over
         G
Hang the Constitution back up
    C          G
And fight for those who fought for us
             C             G                           D
I'd make "In God We Trust" more just than words on the dollar
 
[Chorus]
           C                                 G
If it were up to me the churches would stay open
           Em                              D
If it were up to me our borders would stay closed
        C                                       G
And the helping then would go to those still working
                         D
Their fingers to the bone
       C              G               D
Can't help but wonder how much better it would be
           G
If it were up to me
 
[Break]
G/B C G C G D
 
[Bridge]
           G
If it were up to me there'd be
          C               G
A bolder line 'tween good and evil
          C                G
Wrong and right and we the people
        D
Would always get to speak
            C
Whenever we dang well please
 
 
[Chorus]
           C                                 G
If it were up to me the churches would stay open
           Em                              D
If it were up to me our borders would stay closed
        C                                       G
And the helping then would go to those still working
                         D
Their fingers to the bone
       C              G               D
Can't help but wonder how much better it would be
         C        D      G       D
I can't help but wonder how much it would be
N.C.       G
If it were up to me
