D7M G7M D7M G7M
We were ring-around-the-rosy children, they were circles around the sun
Bm Em A7 Em Em/B A7
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
Bm Em A7 Em Em/B A7 D7M
They were true love written in stone, they were never alone, they were never that far apart
Em Em/B A7 Bm Em Em/B A7 Bm
And we who couldn't bear to believe they might make it, we got to close our eyes
Em Em/B A7 Bm Em Em/B A7
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
Bm Em A7 Em Em/B A7
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
Bm Em A7 Em Em/B A7 D7M
They were glued together body and soul, that much more with their backs up against the wall
Bm Bm/C# Bm Bm/C# Bm Bm/C# Bm
Oh, hold them up, hold them up, never do let them fall
Bm/C# Bm Bm/C# Bm Bm/C# Bm Bm/C#
Prey to the dust and the rust and the ruin that names us and claims us and shames us all
D7M G7M D7M G7M
I guess it had to happen someday soon- there wasn't nothing to hold them down
Bm Em A7 Em Em/B A7
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
Bm Em A7 Em Em/B A7
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)
Bm Em A7 Em Em/B A7
But our golden ones sail on, sail on to another land beneath another sky
Beneath another sky
A7 G7M
Hold them up
Did you hold them up?
