G C
Teardrop windows crying in the sky
Am D7
He is all alone and wondering why
G C
Ivory white but feeling kinda blue
Am D7
'Cause there's no one there to share the view
[Chorus]
C C/B Am
There's too many vacancies
C G D
He's been feeling oh so empty
C C/B D7
And when the sun sets over the sound
G
He just goes to sleep
[Verse]
G C
Built and boasts as the tallest on the coast
Am D7
He was once a city's only toast
G C
In old postcards was positioned as the star
Am D7
He was looked up to with fond regard
[Chorus]
C C/B Am
But in nineteen-sixty-two
C G D
the needle made its big debut
C C/B D7 G
And everybody forgot what it outgrew
[Bridge]
Em C G
He wonders where the workers are who once filled every floor
Em Em/D# C D D/C D/B D/A
And the elevators operate but don't much anymore
D D/C D/B D/A
Anymore
D D/C D/B D/A
Anymore
[Verse]
G C
Teardrop windows crying in the sky
Am D7
How the years have quickly passed him by
G C
Gleaming white against deepest baby blue
Am D7
He is lonely just like me and you
[Chorus]
C C/B Am
There's too many vacancies
C G D
He's been feeling oh so empty
C C/B D7
And 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 feeling oh so empty
C C/B D7
And when the maids they turn out the lights
G
He just goes to sleep
