Once my girl was conscious, through the better days with you
        B                                                          A                          E
Then fame and fortune came your way and made a change of you
       B                                                             A                  E
You climbed your ladder of success and I'm not on solid ground
        B                                                                              E
Then when it starts to crumble, pick me up on your way down

(Chorus)

             A                           E                                 A                  E
Pick me up when roads are shattered, when false friends cannot be found
             B                                                                             E 
Oh you know I'll still be drinking, pick me up on your way down

(Verse 2)
       B                                                      A                      E
I've hit the bottom of the glass, there's just one way to go
       B                                                  A                       E
The world I've chosen for my own is one you'll never know
         B                                                          A                   E
When folks say they don't know me, say I'm not on solid ground
             B                                                                     E
You will find me in my alley, pick me up on your way down

(Chorus)

             A                           E                                 A                   E
Pick me up when roads are shattered, when false friends cannot be found
             B                                                                             E 
Oh you know I'll still be drinking, pick me up on your way down

(Chorus)

             A                           E                                 A                   E
Pick me up when roads are shattered, when false friends cannot be found
             B                                                                             E 
Oh you know I'll still be drinking, pick me up on your way down

(Outro: B  E       E)
