D7M G7M A7A7 B minorBm E minorEm A7A7
D7M G7M D7M G7M
We were ring-around-the-rosy children, they were circles around the sun
B minorBm E minorEm A7A7 E minorEm Em/B A7A7
Never give up, never slow down, never grow old, never ever die young
D7M G7M D7M G7M
Synchronized with the rising moon, even with the evening star
B minorBm E minorEm A7A7 E minorEm Em/B A7A7 D7M
They were true love written in stone, they were never alone, they were never that far apart
(G7M A7A7)
E minorEm Em/B A7A7 B minorBm E minorEm Em/B A7A7 B minorBm
And we who couldn't bear to believe they might make it, we got to close our eyes
E minorEm Em/B A7A7 B minorBm E minorEm Em/B A7A7
Cut up our losses into doable doses, ration our tears and sighs
D7M G7M D7M G7M
Oh, you could see them on the street on a saturday night. everyone used to run them down
B minorBm E minorEm A7A7 E minorEm Em/B A7A7
They're a little too sweet, they're a little too tight, not enough tough for this tough town
D7M G7M D7M G7M
Couldn't touch them with a ten-foot pole, no, it didn't seem to rattle at all
B minorBm E minorEm A7A7 E minorEm Em/B A7A7 D7M
They were glued together body and soul, that much more with their backs up against the wall
B minorBm Bm/C# B minorBm Bm/C# B minorBm Bm/C# B minorBm
Oh, hold them up, hold them up, never do let them fall
Bm/C# B minorBm Bm/C# B minorBm Bm/C# B minorBm Bm/C#
Prey to the dust and the rust and the ruin that names us and claims us and shames us all
Solo: E minorEm A7A7 B minorBm
D7M G7M D7M G7M
I guess it had to happen someday soon- there wasn't nothing to hold them down
B minorBm E minorEm A7A7 E minorEm Em/B A7A7
They would rise from among us like a big balloon, take the sky, and forsake the ground
D7M G7M D7M G7M
Oh, yes, other hearts were broken, i now, other dreams ran dry
B minorBm E minorEm A7A7 E minorEm Em/B A7A7
But our golden ones sail on, sail on to another land beneath another sky
D7M G7M D7M G7M
(let other hearts be broken, let other dreams run dry)
B minorBm E minorEm A7A7 E minorEm Em/B A7A7
But our golden ones sail on, sail on to another land beneath another sky
Beneath another sky
A7A7 G7M
Hold them up
Did you hold them up?
