[F#] This is about [C#] the babe, sweet [Fm] babe, [F#] Susan, yeah, yeah.

[Cm] to [Fm] a party [A#] over yonder.
[Em] [F#] Hey, oh, Susan wants to take [C#] me [Fm]
to [C#] her heart, [G#] yeah.
[F#] Well, it's a one-and-a-place [Fm]
thing, [A#m] yeah, do you know, Susan?
[A#] I've been [Am] living
[Fm] here in this fortress, [G#] and it's [A#] filled with armor.
[Em] [F#] Oh, and sometimes celebrations [G#m] [C#] lose their charm.
[F#] Susan,
[G#] do you [Fm] mind?
Sometimes [G#] I'm [D] restless.
[A#] [G#] Rolling on the floor, pain and [D] woe, [A#]
woe.
[G#] [Fm] After all the precious [Gm] gifts [G#] you will gladly give [Fm] to me, [A#] girl.
[F#] I'll be blindly locked and bolted [C#] on.
[F#]
[G#] Oh, baby, [C#] sweet baby, [A#] I truly [F#] love [C#] you through the [D#m]
years.
[G#] [A#] Well, it's just that sometimes by midnight light, I'm frightened by my [D#m] fears.
[G#] But [C#] if you could just hold [Fm] me, hold me, [F#] girl, the [G#] way you [F#] did today.
[D#m]
[G#] And [C#] tell [Fm] me, knowing [F#] my [C#] eyes, that I may see [F#] the way [Fm] I ought [A#m] to.
