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 CFAm

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 FGAmFFmaj7

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.

C F G C F G

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