Intro.: -- | (A7) | (A7) | (A7) | (D)
(Verse 1)
You were (D)mine for just awhile, now you're (G)puttin' on the style
And you've (A7)never once looked back at your home across the (D)track
You're the gossip of the town, but my (G)heart can still be found
where you (A7)tossed it on the ground. Pick me up on your way (D)down
(Chorus)
Pick me (D)up on your way down when you're (G)blue and all alone
When their (A7)glamour starts to bore you, come on back where you be-(D)long
You may be their pride and joy, but they'll (G)find another toy
and they'll (A7)take away your crown. Pick me up on your way (D)down
Inst.: | (D) | (D) | (G) | (G) | (A7) | (A7) | (A7) | (D) |

(Verse 2)
They have (D)changed your attitude, made you (G)haughty and so rude
Your new (A7)friends can take the blame underneath you're still the (D)same
When you learn these things are true, I'll be (G)waitin' here for you
As you (A7)tumble to the ground, pick me up on your way (D)down
(Chorus)
Pick me (D)up on your way down when you're (G)blue and all alone
When their (A7)glamour starts to bore you, come on back where you be-(D)long
You may be their pride and joy, but they'll (G)find another toy
and they'll (A7)take away your crown. Pick me up on your way (D)down
