Capo 2



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
