Key D
Capo on 2nd fret to play with youtube video
A7
Once my love was good enough
G
True happiness we knew
A7
Then fame and fortune came your way
G D
And made a change in you
A7
You'll find your ladder of success
G
Is not on solid ground
A7
And when it starts to tumble
D
Pick me up on your way down
Chorus:
G D
Pick me up when dreams are shattered
G
When false friends cannot be found
A7
For you know I'll still be waiting
D
Pick me up on your way down
(Instrumental; basically replay entire 'first' verse one time.)
A7
You've hit the top but it won't last
G
There's just one way to go
A7
The world you've chosen is not real
G D
These things you'll come to know
A7
When folks say they don't know you
G
And you've lost your final round
A7
When you find that you are lonely
D
Pick me up on your way down
Chorus:
G D
Pick me up when dreams are shattered
G
When false friends cannot be found
A7
For you know I'll still be waiting
G D G D (or, just use the D to end with, your choice)
Pick me up on your way down
End
