Verse 1

G7
Once my love was good enough
F                 C
True happiness we knew
     G7
Then fame and fortune came your way
    F                C
And made a change in you

Verse 2

G7
You'll find your ladder of success
F               C
Is not on solid ground

And when it starts to tumble
                       C
Pick me up on your way down

Verse 3

F                          C
Pick me up when dreams are shattered
     F                       C
When false friends cannot be found
        G7
For you know I'll still be waiting
                       C
Pick me up on your way down

Verse 4

G7
You've hit the top but it won't last
F                       C
There's just one way to go
    G7
The world you've chosen is not real
      F                     C
These things you'll come to know

Verse 5

G7
When folks say they don't know you
F                          C
And you've lost your final round
     G7
When you find that you are lonely
                       C
Pick me up on your way down

Verse 3

F                          C
Pick me up when dreams are shattered
     F                       C
When false friends cannot be found
        G7
For you know I'll still be waiting
                       C
Pick me up on your way down
