Written by Harlan Howard

Key of G · Chords: I IV V

Verse 1

G
You were mine for just a while
                          C
Now you're puttin' on the style
                             D7
And you've never once looked back
                        G
At your home across the track

Verse 2

You're the gossip of the town
                          C
But my heart can still be found
                           D7
Where you tossed it on the ground
                       G
Pick me up on your way down

Verse 3

Pick me up on your way down
                         C
When you're blue and all alone
                                 D7
When their glamor starts to bore you
                       G
Come on back where you belong

Verse 4

You may be their pride and joy
                         C
But they'll find another toy
                            D7
Then they'll take away your crown
                       G
Pick me up on your way down

Verse 5

They have changed your attitude
                        C
Made you haughty and so rude
                              D7
Your new friends can take the blame
                            G
Underneath you're still the same

Verse 6

When you've learned these things are true
                         C
I'll be waiting here for you
                     D7
As you tumble to the ground
                       G
Pick me up on your way down
