[Verse]
GTeardrop windows Ccrying in the sky
He is Amall alone and wondering D7why
GIvory white but Cfeeling kinda blue
'Cause there's Amno one there to share the D7view
[Chorus]
There's Ctoo many C/BvacanAmcies
He's been Cfeeling oh Gso empDty
And when the Csun sets C/Bover the D7sound
He just goes to Gsleep
[Verse]
GBuilt and boasts as the Ctallest on the coast
He was Amonce a city's only D7toast
In Gold postcards was poCsitioned as the star
He was Amlooked up to with fond D7regard
[Chorus]
But in Cnineteen-C/Bsixty-Amtwo
the Cneedle made its Gbig deDbut
And CeveryC/Bbody forgD7ot what it outgrewG  
[Bridge]
He Emwonders where the workers are who Conce filled every Gfloor
And the Emelevators Em/D#operate but Cdon't much anyDmoD/CreD/B  D/A  
AnyDmoD/CreD/B  D/A  
AnyDmoD/CreD/B  D/A  
[Verse]
GTeardrop windows Ccrying in the sky
How the Amyears have quickly passed him D7by
GGleaming white against Cdeepest baby blue
He is Amlonely just like me and D7you
[Chorus]
There's Ctoo many C/BvacanAmcies
He's been Cfeeling oh Gso empDty
And when the Csun sets C/Bover the D7sound
He just goes to Gsleep
There's Ctoo many C/BvacanAmcies
He's been Cfeeling oh Gso empDty
And when the Cmaids they C/Bturn out the D7lights
He just goes to Gsleep
