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

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

Chorus 2
C C 
 
Oh, the crystal chandeliers
G7 G7 
 
light up the paintings on your wall
The marble statuettes
C C 
 
are standing stately in the hall
But will the timely crowd
C7 C7 
 
that has you laughing loud
F F 
 
help you dry your tears
C C 
 
When the new wears off
G7 G7 
 
C C 
 
of your crystal chandeliers

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

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