VERSE:
 D         F#m
Now, right now

 G                    D
Look at the place I'm in

 D                
When I think about 

               F#m           
Things that I could have done

        G                     A
It's impossible for me to pretend
CHORUS:
       G                  A
But I see it now as the lights grow dim

         Bm                        G
And the world starts to close its eyes

        G                 A
I just wanted to say goodnight

          D   A   D  A
Sweet Suzanne
VERSE:

I hear the music playin'

      G                D
But I no longer understand

 D                 F#m
Around the corner, down the street

      G                            A
It's got to be better than where I am
CHORUS:
   G                      A
I see it all now, as the light grows dim

         Bm                        G
And the world starts to close its eyes

         G                A
I just wanted to say goodnight

          D   
Sweet Suzanne

        G                 A

Just wanted to see if everything was alright

 D       F#m  G           D
Time goes by, oh, so quietly

 D            F#m
Hazy days and memories

            G                 A
And in the end there was only me

G                      A
Wouldn't have been, I ask sometimes

Bm                  G
But I see myself inside this rhyme

Enjoyed what I had back then

 Would I do it again?
