              Capotraste na 1ª casa 
 
A Em A Em A Em G D 2x 
 
    A    Em         A  Em             G             D           A Em A Em 
Oh, Susan, you were clued in you knew just how this thing would go 
   A    Em           A    Em           G          D    A     
A prognosis that was hopeless from the very first domino 
A Bm     G       D 
I guess I see it all in hindsight 
I tried to keep perspective despite 
The flash of the fuse, the smell of cordite 
 
chorus: 
A               F#m 
Now I'm in that place again 
      D                        A 
And I know he can't come in to get me 
        C#                    F#m 
And someday he will live to regret me 
E            D 
Susan, I can see it now 
 
A Em A Em A Em G D 
 
      A  Em         A  Em          G         D     A Em A Em 
Oh, Suzie|--they get to me they can really be wearying  
        A  Em            A Em        G         D     A 
But he threw me rope and buoy let me use his decoder ring 
A     Bm        G         D          A 
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} 
 
A Em A Em A Em G D 2x 
 
    A Em       A       Em          G      D           A Em A Em 
Oh, Susan, the hope of fusion is that the halo will reappear 
   A    Em     A    Em           G          D         A 
It may be pure illusion but it's beautiful while it's here 
  Bm        G      D            A 
I had some trouble with the goodbye 
I checked my Roman candle supply 
and watched the vapor trail in the sky 
 
chorus: 
A                    F#m 
But I'm in that place again 
        D                                 A 
And I know he can't come in to get me 
       C#                   F#m 
And someday he will live to regret me 
E              D 
Susan, I can see it now 
F#m E                 D 
       Susan, I can see it now  
F#m E                 D       G D A 
       Susan, I can see it now
