(G) You were mine for just  awhile, 
Now you're (C) putting on the  style, 
And you (D) never once looked  back, 
At your home across the (G)  track,  
You're the gossip of the town, 
But my(C) heart can still be  found, 
Where you (D) tossed it on the  groung,  
Pickme up on your way (G)  down, 

Chorus: 
Pick me up on your way down,  
When you're (C) blue and all  alone,  
When their (D) glamour starts to  bore you, 
Come on back where you (G)  belong,    
You may be their pride and joy,  
But they'll (C) find another  toy,  
And they'll (D) take away your  crown,  
Pick me up on your way (G)  down,  
  
They have changed your attitude,  
Made you (C) honey, oh so  rude, 
Your new (D) friends can take the  blame, 
Underneath you're still the (G)  same,  
When you learn these things are true,  
I'll be (C) waiting here for  you,  
As you (D) tumble to the  ground, 
Pick me up on your way (G)  down,  

Repeat Chorus:
