[Verse 1]
       C           G
It's a view to the top
       D            C         G  C G
Of the Empire State Building
       C       G
Showed you the world
       D            C         G  C G
From a different perspective


[Chorus]
          D               Em        C          G  C G
It didn't mean as much to you as it did to me
          D               Em        C          G  C G  C  G
It didn't mean as much to you as it did to me


[Verse 2]
  C            G
I tripped over you
     D          C        G  C G
At a bar in New Orleans
         C           G
You were bigger than life
D                  C          G  C G
Nothing's been the same since


[Chorus]
              D       Em          C            G  C G
But it didn't mean to you what it meant to me
              D       Em          C            G  C G
No, it didn't mean to you what it meant to me


[Bridge]
D    G       C
Love chained me
   G           Bm   C
So cruel and unkind___
        G      C G
Yeah, I know


[Instrumental]
G     D   G     Bm  C  G   C G


[Verse 3]
C           G
So, here we are
D                C           G  C G
Caught somewhere in between
   C             G
In Brooklyn, New York
D          C         G  C G
Nashville, Tennessee


[Chorus]
           D        Em            C            G  C G
Nothing is clear to you like it's clear to me
                     D        Em            C           G  C G  C  G
Oh, nothing was ever clear to you like it's clear to me


[Outro]
       C           G
It's a view to the top
       D            C        G  C G
Of the Empire State Building
