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
