_ _ [A] _ _ [Cm] _ _ [C#m] _ _
_ [F#m] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [C#m] _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ Wearing around the rosy [B]
children, [E] _ they were circles [A] around the [B] sun.
_ [F#] Never give up, [A] never slow [B] down, _ [C#] never grow old, [A] never ever [B] die [F#] young.
_ _ [E] _ _ Synchronized with [A] the rising [B] moon, [E] _ even with [A] the evening [C#] star,
they were true love, written [B] in stone.
They [C#m] were never [F#m] alone, they [A] were never that [B] far [E] apart.
_ _ [A] _
_ [E] _ [F#] And we who couldn't bear to [B] believe they [F#] might make it, [F#m] began to [C#m] close [B] our [C#] eyes.
[F#m] To cut up our [A] losses [B] into double doses and [F#] brass in our tears and sighs.
You [E] could see them on its feet on a Saturday [B] night.
_ [E] _ Everyone used to run them [B] down.
They're [C#m] a little [F#] too sweet, [A] they're a little [B] too tight.
[C#] They're not [F#m] enough tough [A] for this tough [B] town.
_ [E] You couldn't touch them with a ten [B]-foot pole.
_ [E] No, it didn't seem to [B] rattle at all.
They were [C#m] fused [F#] together, [A] body [B] and soul.
[C#] Not much more with [A] their backs [B] up against the [E] wall. _
_ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ [F#m] _
_ [A] _ _ Oh, [C#m] hold them up, [A]
hold [B] them [C#m] up, never [A] do let [B] them fall.
[C#m] Great [A] to the [B] dust and the rust [C#m] and the [A] ruin that names [B] us, claims [C#m] us, and [A] shames us [E] all.
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ [C#] _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _
_ [C#m] _ _ [F#m] _ _ [A] _ _ [B] _
_ [C#] _ _ [F#] _ _ [A] _ _ [A#] _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ [E]
Oh, it had to happen someday [B] soon.
_ [E]
There wasn't nothing to hold them [B] down.
They [C#m] would rise from the mungus like a big [B] balloon, _ [C#m]
take [F#m] the sky and [A] forsake the [B] ground.
_ [E] _
Oh, yes, other hearts [B] were broken.
[E] _
And I know other dreams ran [B] dry, but our [C#m] goal in [F#] one [A] sail on [B] and on.
So another [F#m] land [A] beneath [B] another [E] sky.
Let other hearts be broken.
[E] _ Let other dreams [B] run dry, [C#m] but our goal in one [A] sail [B] on and on.
[C#m] So another [F#m] land [A] beneath [B] another [E] sky.
_ _ [A] _ _ [B] _
_ _ [C#m] _ _ _ [A] _ Beneath [B] another [E] sky.
_ _ [A] _ _ [C] _
_ [G#] _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ [A] _
_ [B] Hold [C#m] them up, hold [B] them up, [C#m] hold them up, won't [B] you hold them up, [A] can't you [B] hold [C#m] _ _ _
[B] them _ [C#m] _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ up? _ _ _
