^CWe were ring-around-the-r^Fosy ch^Gildren, t^Chey were circles ^Faround th^Ge sun.

^AmNever give u^Fp, ^Fmaj7never slow do^Gwn, ^Amnever grow ^Fold, ^Fmaj7never ever die you^Gng.

^CSynchronized with the ri^Fsing m^Goon, e^Cven with the eve^Fning st^Gar,

^Amthey were true lo^Fve ^Fmaj7written in sto^Gne, ^Amthey were never a^Flone, ^Fmaj7they were never that ^Gfar apart. ^C ^F ^Am

^FAnd we who couldn't bear to be^Glieve they might make it, ^Fwe got to close our ey^Ges.

^FCut up our losses into d^Goable doses, ^Fration our tears and si^Gghs. Oh, you could s^Cee them on the street on a S^Faturday ni^Gght.

^CEveryone used to r^Fun them ^Gdown.

They're a l^Amittle too sw^Feet, they'r^Fmaj7e a little too ti^Gght, ^Amnot enough t^Fough for ^Fmaj7this to^Gwn.

^CCouldn't touch them with a t^Fen-foot p^Gole, ^Cno, it didn't seem to ra^Fttle at ^Gall.

They wer^Ame glued ^Ftogether^Fmaj7 body and s^Goul, that mu^Amch m^Fore with their ^Fmaj7backs up ag^Gainst the w^Call. ^F ^G ^Am ^F ^Fmaj7

^GOh, hold them ^Amup, h^Fold them ^Gup, n^Amever do l^Fet them f^Gall ^Ampray to the d^Fust and the ^Grust and the ^Amruin that na^Fmes us

and c^Glaims us and s^Amhames us all. (Instrumental) F G F G F G F Am G

I gu^Cess it had to happen ^Fsomeday ^Gsoon- wa^Csn't nothing to ^Fhold them d^Gown. ^AmThey would r^Fise from among us like ^Fmaj7a big bal^Gloon,

^Amtake the s^Fky, f^Fmaj7orsake the g^Ground. ^COh, yes, other h^Fearts were br^Goken, y^Ceah, other dr^Feams ran d^Gry

but our ^Amgolden o^Fnes ^Fmaj7sail on, s^Gail on to a^Amnother la^Fnd ^Fmaj7beneath a^Gnother ^Csky. (L^Cet other he^Farts be br^Goken, ^Clet other dr^Feams run d^Gry)

but our ^Amgolden o^Fnes ^Fmaj7sail on, s^Gail on ^Amto another l^Fand ^Fmaj7beneath ano^Gther s^Cky, ^F ^G ^Am

^Fbeneath a^Gnother ^Csky. ^F ^E ^Am ^F ^Fmaj7

^GHold them ^Amup, ho^Fld them ^Gup, h^Amold them u^Fp, h^Gold them ^Amup, ho^Fld them ^Gup, ^Amhold them u^Fp…

(Hold them up, don’t let them fall).
