     G+G A minorAm FF  G+G A minorAm FF G+G A minorAm FF G+G  A minorAm FF G+G A minorAm FF

C majorC            FF   G+G    C majorC        FF    G+G
We were ring-around-the-rosy children, they were circles around the sun.


A minorAm     FF Fmaj7Fmaj7    G+G  A minorAm     FF  Fmaj7Fmaj7       G+G
Never give up, never slow down, never grow old, never ever die young.


C majorC            FF   G+G   C majorC        FF   G+G
Synchronized with the rising moon, even with the evening star,


A minorAm        FF Fmaj7Fmaj7     G+G
they were true love written in stone,

A minorAm        FF   Fmaj7Fmaj7        G+G     C majorC FF A minorAm
they were never alone, they were never that far apart.

FF               G+G
And we who couldn't bear to believe they might make it,

FF           G+G
we got to close our eyes.

FF            G+G      FF           G+G
Cut up our losses into doable doses, ration our tears and sighs.

        C majorC              FF     G+G
Oh, you could see them on the street on a Saturday night.

C majorC         FF    G+G
Everyone used to run them down.


      A minorAm     FF     Fmaj7Fmaj7      G+G
They're a little too sweet, they're a little too tight,

A minorAm     FF    Fmaj7Fmaj7 G+G
not enough tough for this town.


C majorC              FF    G+G
Couldn't touch them with a ten-foot pole,

C majorC            FF    G+G
no, it didn't seem to rattle at all.

    A minorAm   FF    Fmaj7Fmaj7   G+G
They were glued together body and soul,

    A minorAm FF       Fmaj7Fmaj7   G+G     C majorC  FF G+G A minorAm FF Fmaj7Fmaj7
that much more with their backs up against the wall.

G+G       A minorAm  FF    G+G  A minorAm    FF    G+G
Oh, hold them up, hold them up, never do let them fall

A minorAm      FF      G+G      A minorAm     FF
pray to the dust and the rust and the ruin that names us

   G+G       A minorAm
and claims us and shames us all.

(Instrumental)  FF G+G FF G+G FF G+G FF A minorAm G+G

  C majorC          FF    G+G    C majorC        FF     G+G
I guess it had to happen someday soon- wasn't nothing to hold them down.

A minorAm     FF           Fmaj7Fmaj7  G+G
They would rise from among us like a big balloon,

A minorAm    FF  Fmaj7Fmaj7    G+G
take the sky, forsake the ground.

C majorC        FF      G+G   C majorC      FF     G+G
Oh, yes, other hearts were broken, yeah, other dreams ran dry

    A minorAm   FF  Fmaj7Fmaj7   G+G     A minorAm    FF Fmaj7Fmaj7  G+G   C majorC
but our golden ones sail on, sail on to another land beneath another sky.

 C majorC     FF     G+G   C majorC      FF     G+G
(Let other hearts be broken, let other dreams run dry)

    A minorAm   FF  Fmaj7Fmaj7
but our golden ones sail on,

 G+G   A minorAm     FF  Fmaj7Fmaj7   G+G   C majorC  FF  G+G  A minorAm
sail on to another land beneath another sky,

FF    G+G   C majorC    FF  E MajorE A minorAm FF  Fmaj7Fmaj7
beneath another sky.


G+G     A minorAm  FF    G+G  A minorAm    FF  G+G    A minorAm  FF    G+G
Hold them up, hold them up, hold them up, hold them up, hold them up,

A augmentedA     FF
hold them up?
