Standard (EADGBE)

 Then fame and fortune came your way and made a change of you

 You climbed your ladder of success and I'm not on solid ground

 Then when it starts to crumble, pick me up on your way down

(Chorus)

 Pick me up when roads are shattered, when false friends cannot be found

 Oh you know I'll still be drinking, pick me up on your way down

(Verse 2)

 I've hit the bottom of the glass, there's just one way to go

 The world I've chosen for my own is one you'll never know

 When folks say they don't know me, say I'm not on solid ground

 You will find me in my alley, pick me up on your way down

(Chorus)

 Pick me up when roads are shattered, when false friends cannot be found

 Oh you know I'll still be drinking, pick me up on your way down

(Chorus)

 Pick me up when roads are shattered, when false friends cannot be found

 Oh you know I'll still be drinking, pick me up on your way down

 (Outro: )
