Standard (EADGBE)

You were mine for just a while

 Now you're puttin' on the style

 And you've never once looked back

 At your home across the track

You're the gossip of the town

 But my heart can still be found

 Where you tossed it on the ground

 Pick me up on your way down

Pick me up on your way down

 When you're blue and all alone

 When their glamour starts to bore you

 Come on back where you belong

You may be their pride and joy

 But they'll find another toy

 And they'll take away your crown

 Pick me up on your way down

Solo

They have changed your attitude

 Made you haughty and so rude

 Your new friends can take the blame

 Underneath you're still the same

When you've learned these things are true

 I'll be waiting here for you

 As you tumble to the ground

 Pick me up on your way down

Pick me up on your way down

 When you're blue and all alone

 When their glamour starts to bore you

 Come on back where you belong

You may be their pride and joy

 But they'll find another toy

 And they'll take away your crown

 Pick me up on your way down
