A5 E5 A5 E5 A5 E5 G5 D5 2x

    A5    E5         A5  E5             G5             D5           A5 E5 A5 E5
Oh, Susan, you were clued in you knew just how this thing would go
   A5    E5           A5    E5           G5          D5    A5    
A prognosis that was hopeless from the very first domino
A5 B5     G5       D5
I guess I see it all in hindsight

I tried to keep perspective despite

The flash of the fuse, the smell of cordite

chorus:
A5               F#5
Now I'm in that place again
      D5                        A5
And I know he can't come in to get me
        C#5                    F#5
And someday he will live to regret me
E5            D5
Susan, I can see it now


A5 E5 A5 E5 A5 E5 G5 D5

      A5  E5         A5  E5          G5         D5     A5 E5 A5 E5
Oh, Suzie | --they get to me they can really be wearying 
        A5  E5            A5 E5        G5         D5     A5
But he threw me rope and buoy let me use his decoder ring
A5     B5        G5         D5          A5
There must have been some kind of parade

We kissed for a while to see how it played

And pulled the pin on another grenade

[chorus]


A5 E5 A5 E5 A5 E5 G5 D5 2x

    A5 E5       A5       E5          G5      D5           A5 E5 A5 E5
Oh, Susan, the hope of fusion is that the halo will reappear
   A5    E5     A5    E5           G5          D5         A5
It may be pure illusion but it's beautiful while it's here
  B5        G5      D5            A5
I had some trouble with the goodbye

I checked my Roman candle supply

and watched the vapor trail in the sky

chorus:
A5                    F#5
But I'm in that place again
        D5                                 A5
And I know he can't come in to get me
       C#5                   F#5
And someday he will live to regret me
E5              D5
Susan, I can see it now
F#5 E5                 D5
       Susan, I can see it now 
F#5 E5                 D5       G5 D5 A5
       Susan, I can see it now
