| A | |
| You were mine for just a while |
| D | |
| Now you're | puttin' on the style |
| E | |
| And you've | never once looked back |
| A | |
| At your home across the | track |
| A | |
| You're the gossip of the town |
| D | |
| But my | heart can still be found |
| E | |
| Where you | tossed it on the ground |
| A | |
| Pick me up on your way | down |
| A | |
| Pick me up on your way down |
| D | |
| When you're | blue and all alone |
| E | |
| When their | glamour starts to bore you |
| A | |
| Come on back where you | belong |
| You may be their pride and joy |
| D | |
| But they'll | find another toy |
| E | |
| And they'll | take away your crown |
| A | |
| Pick me up on your way | down |
| SOLO |
| A | |
| They have changed your attitude |
| D | |
| Made you | haughty and so rude |
| E | |
| Your new f | riends can take the blame |
| A | |
| Underneath you're still the | same |
| When you've learned these things are true |
| D | |
| I'll be | waiting here for you |
| E | |
| As you | tumble to the ground |
| A | |
| Pick me up on your way | down |
| A | |
| Pick me up on your way down |
| D | |
| When you're | blue and all alone |
| E | |
| When their | glamour starts to bore you |
| A | |
| Come on back where you | belong |
| You may be their pride and joy |
| D | |
| But they'll | find another toy |
| E | |
| And they'll | take away your crown |
| A | |
| Pick me up on your way | down |
