D G A D G A
We were ring-around-the-rosy children, they were circles around the
sun.

Bm G Gmaj7 A Bm G Gmaj7 A
Never give up, never slow down, never grow old, never ever die young.

D G A D G A
Synchronized with the rising moon, even with the evening star,

Bm G Gmaj7 A
they were true love written in stone,

Bm G Gmaj7 A D G Bm
they were never alone, they were never that far apart.

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

G A
we got to close our eyes.

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

D G A
Oh, you could see them on the street on a Saturday night.

D G A
Everyone used to run them down.

Bm G Gmaj7 A
They're a little too sweet, they're a little too tight,

Bm G Gmaj7 A
not enough tough for this town.

D G A
Couldn't touch them with a ten-foot pole,

D G A
no, it didn't seem to rattle at all.

Bm G Gmaj7 A
They were glued together body and soul,
 Bm G Gmaj7 A D G A Bm G
Gmaj7
that much more with their backs up against the wall.

A Bm G A Bm G A
Oh, hold them up, hold them up, never do let them fall

Bm G A Bm G
pray to the dust and the rust and the ruin that names us

A Bm
and claims us and shames us all.

(Instrumental) G A G A G A G Bm A

D G A D G A
I guess it had to happen someday soon- wasn't nothing to hold them
down.

Bm G Gmaj7 A
They would rise from among us like a big balloon,

Bm G Gmaj7 A
take the sky, forsake the ground.

D G A D G A
Oh, yes, other hearts were broken, yeah, other dreams ran dry

Bm G Gmaj7 A Bm G Gmaj7 A D
but our golden ones sail on, sail on to another land beneath another
sky.

D G A D G A
(Let other hearts be broken, let other dreams run dry)

Bm G Gmaj7
but our golden ones sail on,

A Bm G Gmaj7 A D G A Bm
sail on to another land beneath another sky,

G A D G F# Bm G Gmaj7
beneath another sky.

A Bm G A Bm G A Bm G A
Hold them up, hold them up, hold them up, hold them up, hold them up,

B G
hold them up

(Hold them up, don't let them fall).
