Crystal Chandeliers - Ted Harris
|[Chorus]
| D A7
|Oh, the crystal chandeliers light up the paintings on your wall
| D
|The marble statuettes are standing stately, in the hall,
| D7 G
|But will the timely crowd, that has you laughin' loud help you dry your tears
| D A7 D
|When the new wears off of your crystal chande-liers
D A7
I never did fit in too well with folks you knew
D
And it's plain to see that the likes of me don't fit with you
D7 D
So you traded me for the gaiety of the well to do
D A7 C
And you turned a way from the love I offered you
[Chorus]
D A7
I see your picture in the news most every day
D
You're the chosen girl of the social world, So the stories say
D7 G
But a paper smile only lasts a while Then it fades away
D A7 D
And the love we knew will come home to you some day
[Chorus]
D A7 D G D
... When the new wears off of your crystal chande-liers
