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

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

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
Full
key step up
Half
key step up
Half
key step down
Full
key step down
