G                C/G                C/B 
Teardrop windows cryin' in the sky 
Am                            D7 
He is all alone and wonderin' why 
G                C/G                C/B 
Ivory white but feelin' kind of blue 
Am                                      D7 
Cause theres no one there to share the view 

C           C/B       Am 
There's too many vacancies 
C                G        D 
He's been feelin' oh so empty 
C              C/B           D 
When the sun sets over the sound 
                 G 
He just goes to sleep 

 

G                      C/G                 C/B 
Built in boast as the tallest on the coast 
Am                            D7 
He was once the city's only toast 
G                C/G                      C/B 
In old postcards was positioned as a star 
Am                              D7 
He was looked up to with fond regard 

C           C/B       Am 
But in nineteen sixty two  
C                G        D 
The needle made it's big debut 
C     C/B          D 
And everybody forgot 
          G 
What it outgrew 

G/F# 

Em                    
He wonders where the workers are  
C                        G     G/F# 
Who once filled every floor 
Em              EmM7 
The elevators operate 
C                 D    D/C  D/B  D/A  
But don't much anymore 
D    D/C  D/B  D/A 
Anymore 
D    D/C  D/B  D/A 
Anymore 

D    D/C  D/B  D/A 

D    D/C  D/B  D/A 

G                C/G           C/B 
Teardrop windows cryin' in the sky 
Am                                  D7 
How the years have quickly past her by 
G                C/G                C/B 
Gleaming white 'gainst the deepest baby blue 
Am                            D7 
He is lonely just like me and you 

C           C/B       Am 
There's too many vacancies 
C                G        D 
He's been feelin' oh so empty 
C              C/B           D 
When the sun sets over the sound 
                 G 
He just goes to sleep 

C           C/B       Am 
There's too many vacancies 
C                G        D 
He's been feelin' oh so empty 
C              C/B           D 
And when the maids they turn out the lights 
                 G 
He just goes to sleep
