Chords

[Verse 1]
A               D
Susan, you are a jewel

A               D
About the rarest I've ever seen

A       C#m     D
I wish I could polish off

D               E               A
All the edges of my craziest dream

A                       D
But you know the way I am

A                               D
There's nothin' that you can do

A               C#m                     D
If there's anything you don't want me to do

D               E               A
Just go ahead and tell me to
[Chorus]
D               E                       A
It must have been one hell of a starry night

D               E
The moon was so bright

A               C#m             D
It must've knocked out all of your lights

D                       E                       A
I guess that's the night that you fell for my silvery line
[Verse 2]
A               D
Everything we do is backwards

A               D
You know that ain't a lie

A       C#m     D
You love, I love, you love

D               E               A
Ah, you know you know I love your beautiful eyes

A               D
But I can't pay you back, no

A               D
I can't make it up with a song

A       C#m     D
So I guess I'm here tryin' to tell you that

D               E               A
I missed myself while you were gone
[Chorus]
D               E                       A
It must have been one hell of a starry night

D               E
The moon was so bright

A               C#m             D
It must've knocked out all of your lights

D                       E                       A
I guess that's the night that you fell for my silvery line
[Verse 3]
A               D
Yeah, you always picked the winners

A               D
Every Derby race

A       C#m     D
I guess you just picked on me

D               E               A
For a little bit of change of pace
[Bridge]
A               C#m             D
So go on, shake your hair, let it loose

A               C#m             D
Run 'til you pass the wind

A               C#m             D
I'll be runnin' right in front of you

A               E               A
Tryin' to rein myself in
[Chorus]
D               E                       A
It must have been one hell of a starry night

D               E
The moon was so bright

A               C#m             D
It must've knocked out all of your lights

D                       E                       A
I guess that's the night that you fell for my silvery line
[Outro]
A               D
Susan, you are a jewel

A               D
About the rarest I've ever seen

A       C#m     D
I wish I could polish off

D               E               A
All the edges of my craziest dreams
