[Intro]
Em C G D x2

[Verse 1]
Em               C          G                  D
Ain’t it funny how the numbers all add up
Em               C                         G               D
But you worry about all the time you’ve given up
Em                                           C
And though you understand it
G                                           D
You take it all for granted
Em               C                             Cm
You build another wall to sit and watch it

[Chorus]
G D    Bm C
Fall to pieces
G                  D                  Bm                  C
Stop me tripping over things that I can’t forget
G D                  Bm C
When there’s no voice of reason
Am
And I’m lost and out my depth
C Em C G D Em C G D
Just pick me up again

[Verse 2]
Em C G D
You say I’m better off letting shame pass me by
Em C G D
But I better not show the pain that I can’t hide
Em C
I leave a single light on
G D
A beacon to rely upon
Em C Cm
I build another wall to sit and watch it

[Chorus]
G D Bm C
Fall to pieces
G D Bm C
Stop me tripping over things that I can’t forget
G D Bm C
When there’s no voice of reason
Am
And I’m lost and out my depth
C G D C
Just pick me up again
Em D C
Again
Am C
When I’m lost and out my depth (When I’m lost and out my depth)
Am Bm C
And I’m trying to catch my breath

[Chorus]
G D Bm C
Fall to pieces
G D Bm C
Stop me tripping over things that i can’t forget
G D Bm C
When there’s no voice of reason
Am C
And I’m lost and out my depth
Am Bm C
And i’m trying to catch my breath
C G
Just pick me up again

How to play Pick Me Up: key, chords and progression

Pick Me Up by Vicki Manser is in the key of G major (one sharp: F♯). The song uses 7 chords: Em, C, G, D, Cm, Bm and Am.

Most of the song cycles through Em – C – G – D (vi – IV – I – V in G major), the “sensitive” minor-start rotation of the four-chord progression, a favourite in ballads and worship. In solfa, that is lah – fah – doh – soh. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Good to know: Cm and Bm are played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into them slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
