Chorus 1
C 
Oh, the crystal chandeliers
G7 
light up the paintings on your wall
The marble statuettes
C 
are standing stately in the hall
But will the timely crowd
C7 
that has you laughing loud
F 
help you dry your tears
C 
When the new wears off
G7 
C 
of your crystal chandeliers

Verse 1
C 
G7 
I never did fit in too well with folks you knew
And it's plain to see
C 
that the likes of me don't fit with you
C7 
So you traded me for the gaiety
F 
of the well to do
C 
And you turned away
G7 
C 
from the love I offered you

C 
Oh, the crystal chandeliers
G7 
light up the paintings on your wall
The marble statuettes
C 
are standing stately in the hall
But will the timely crowd

When the new wears off
G7 
C 
of your crystal chandeliers

Verse 2
C 
I see your picture in the news
G7 
most every day
You're the chosen girl of the social world
C 
so the stories say
C7 
But a paper smile only lasts a while
F 
then it fades away
C 
And the love we knew
G7 
C 
will come home to you some day

Chorus 3
C 
Oh, the crystal chandeliers
G7 
light up the paintings on your wall
The marble statuettes
C 
are standing stately in the hall
But will the timely crowd
C7 
that has you laughing loud
F 
help you dry your tears
C 
When the new wears off
G7 
C 
of your crystal chandeliers
C 
When the new wears off
G7 
C 
G7 
C 
of your crystal chandeliers
