Intro
[E] [A]
Verse 1
[A] [D]
You were mine for just a while, now you're putting on the style
[E] [A]
And you've never once looked back at your home across the track
[A] [D]
You're the gossip of the town, but my heart can still be found
[E] [A]
Where you tossed it on the ground, pick me up on your way down
Chorus
[A] [D]
Pick me up on your way down when you're blue and all alone
[E] [E]
When their glamor starts to bore you, come on back where you belong
[A] [D]
You may be their pride and joy, but they'll find another toy
[E] [A]
Then they'll take away your crown, pick me up on your way down

Verse 2
[A] [D]
They have changed your attitude, made you haughty and so rude
[E] [A]
Your new friends can take the blame, underneath you're still the same
[A] [D]
When you've learned these things are true, I'll be waiting here for you
[E] [A]
As you tumble to the ground, pick me up on your way down
Chorus
[A] [D]
Pick me up on your way down when you're blue and all alone
[E] [E]
When their glamor starts to bore you, come on back where you belong
[A] [D]
You may be their pride and joy, but they'll find another toy
[E] [A]
Then they'll take away your crown, pick me up on your way down
