G Am F G Am F G Am F G Am F G Am F
[Verse]
C F G C F G
We were ring-around-the-rosy children, they were circles around the sun.
Am F Fmaj7 G Am F Fmaj7 G
Never give up, never slow down, never grow old, never ever die young.
C F G C F G
Synchronized with the rising moon, even with the evening star,
Am F Fmaj7 G
they were true love written in stone,
Am F Fmaj7 G C F Am
they were never alone, they were never that far apart.
F G
And we who couldn't bear to believe they might make it,
F G
we got to close our eyes.
F G F G
Cut up our losses into doable doses, ration our tears and sighs.
C F G
Oh, you could see them on the street on a Saturday night.
C F G
Everyone used to run them down.
Am F Fmaj7 G
They're a little too sweet, they're a little too tight,
Am F Fmaj7 G
not enough tough for this town.
C F G
Couldn't touch them with a ten-foot pole,
C F G
no, it didn't seem to rattle at all.
Am F Fmaj7 G
They were glued together body and soul,
Am F Fmaj7 G C F G Am F Fmaj7
that much more with their backs up against the wall.
G Am F G Am F G
Oh, hold them up, hold them up, never do let them fall
Am F G Am F
pray to the dust and the rust and the ruin that names us
G Am
and claims us and shames us all.
[Instrumental]
F G F G F G F Am G
[Verse]
C F G C F G
I guess it had to happen someday soon- wasn't nothing to hold them down.
Am F Fmaj7 G
They would rise from among us like a big balloon,
Am F Fmaj7 G
take the sky, forsake the ground.
C F G C F G
Oh, yes, other hearts were broken, yeah, other dreams ran dry
Am F Fmaj7 G Am F Fmaj7 G C
but our golden ones sail on, sail on to another land beneath another sky.
C F G C F G
(Let other hearts be broken, let other dreams run dry)
Am F Fmaj7
but our golden ones sail on,
G Am F Fmaj7 G C F G Am
sail on to another land beneath another sky,
F G C F E Am F Fmaj7
beneath another sky.
[Outro]
G Am F G Am F G Am F G
Hold them up, hold them up, hold them up, hold them up, hold them up,
Am F
hold them up…
