Standard (EADGBE)
Teardrop windows cryin' in the sky
He is all alone and wonderin' why
Ivory white but feelin' kind of blue
Cause theres no one there to share the view
There's too many vacancies
He's been feelin' oh so empty
When the sun sets over the sound
He just goes to sleep
[He seems to hammer on the 2nd fret on the D string when playing the G chord]
Built in boast as the tallest on the coast
He was once the city's only toast
In old postcards was positioned as a star
He was looked up to with fond regard
But in nineteen sixty two
The needle made it's big debut
And everybody forgot
What it outgrew
[G/f#]
He wonders where the workers are
[G/f#]
Who once filled every floor
The elevators operate
But don't much anymore
Anymore
Anymore
Teardrop windows cryin' in the sky
How the years have quickly past her by
Gleaming white 'gainst the deepest baby blue
He is lonely just like me and you
There's too many vacancies
He's been feelin' oh so empty
When the sun sets over the sound
He just goes to sleep
There's too many vacancies
He's been feelin' oh so empty
And when the maids they turn out the lights
He just goes to sleep
