[Verse]
                          B7       E
We were ringaroundtherosy children ■
                  A          B  
They were circles around the sun
Dbm7       Gbm7 Amaj7      B   
Never give up   never slow down
Dbm7       Gbm7 Amaj7          B    
Never grow old  never ever die young
E                       A      B7   E
■ Synchronized with the rising moon ■
              A       B   
Even with the evening star
     Dbm7      Gbm7 Amaj7      B    
They were true love written in stone
          Dbm7                  Amaj7 A    B   E     A
They were never alone they were never that far apart ■


[Chorus]
E Gbm7                Amaj7   B                  Dbm7   
■ And we who couldn't bear to believe they might make it
Gbm7      Amaj7     B    Dbm7
We got to close our eyes ■   
Gbm7       Amaj7       B      Dbm7 
Cut up our losses into doable doses
    Gbm7       Amaj7          
And ration our tears and sighs


[Verse]
Bsus4        E                          A        B7   
Oh you could see 'em on the street on a Saturday night
E                  A        B   
■ Everyone used to run them down
Dbm7                 Gbm7            Amaj7      B    
They're a little too sweet they're a little too tight
Dbm7       Gbm7      Amaj7     B
Not enough tough for this town ■
E                            A       Bsus4 E
■ Couldn't touch them with a tenfoot pole  ■
                     A         B  
No it didn't seem to rattle at all
          Dbm7  Gbm7     Amaj7    B   
They were glued together body and soul
Dbm7                      Amaj7    B           E   
That much more with their backs up against the wall
A B Dbm Dbm7 Gbm7 Amaj7
■ ■ ■   ■    ■    ■    


[Chorus]
   B         Dbm A    B      
Oh hold them up  hold them up
Dbm      A        B   
Never do let them fall
Dbm7        A    B                    Dbm7
Prey to the dust and the rust and the ruin
     A            B             Dbm7         
That names us and claims us and shames us all
A E Gbm7 Amaj7 B Dbm7 Gbm7 Amaj7

[Verse]
                  A              B7   E
I guess it had to happen someday soon ■
                  A         Bsus4
Wasn't nothing to hold them down 
           Dbm7      Gbm7            Amaj7 B      
They would rise from among us like a big   balloon
Dbm7        Gbm7    Amaj7       A      B
Take to the sky and forsake the ground ■
E              A           B      E
■ Oh yes other hearts were broken ■
           A          B  
Yeah other dreams ran dry


[Chorus]
        Dbm    Dbm7      Amaj7   B 
But our golden ones sail on sail on
Dbm7       E    A       Amaj7   B   E A E
To another land beneath another sky ■ ■ ■
   A   B     Dbm7             Amaj7   B 
Oh Let ■ our golden ones sail on sail on


[Bridge]
Dbm7       Gbm7 Amaj7   B       E   A B Dbm
To another land beneath another sky ■ ■ ■  
Gbm7    B       E  
Beneath another sky
A Cm Dbm Gbm7 Amaj7

[Chorus]
B    Dbm7    Amaj7 B      
Hold them up hold  them up
Dbm7 Dbm  A  B    Dbm    
Hold them up hold them up
A         B  Dbm7      A 
Hold them up hold them up
B         Dbm     A B      
Hold them up hold ■ them up
Dbm          A     B    Dbm7         
Hold them up to me hold them up to me
A            B Dbm7 A B Dbm7      A 
Hold them up ■ hold ■ ■ ■    them up
B    Dbm7 Dbm A       B       Dbm7 A B Dbm7 A B    Dbm7
hold them ■   up hold them up hold ■ ■ ■    ■ them up
