verse 1 
F        C       Em     Am 
  Susie May goes out at night 
F          C          Em          Am 
  Thinking of all the things she likes 
F             C                   Em       Am 
  She can't afford to throw those things away 
F        C                Em    Am 
  Susie May forgets she's not okay 
 
 
Dm             G 
  And does she know 
         C               Am 
It's not   fine that she cries at night? 
Dm             G 
  And does she know 
          C               Am 
It's not alright that she hates to fly? 
Dm       G               C 
  Susie May, you're not okay 
        Am 
Time to find your way 
 
BRIDGE 
Dm         Em               C     Am 
   And I'm alright, don't you see? 
Dm       Em              C     Am 
  Always tangled in bedsheets 
Dm        Em           C Em Am 
  You can see it in my eyyyyes, always 
Dm   Em             C 
  1 AM with swollen eyes 
 
Dm             G 
  And does she know 
         C               Am 
It's not   fine that she cries at night? 
Dm             G 
  And does she know 
          C               Am 
It's not alright that she hates to fly? 
Dm       G               C 
  Susie May, you're not okay 
        Am 
Time to find your way 
 
BRIDGE 
Dm         Em               C     Am 
   And I'm alright, don't you see? 
Dm       Em              C     Am 
  Always tangled in bedsheets 
Dm        Em           C Em Am 
  You can see it in my eyyyyes, always 
Dm   Em             C 
  1 AM with swollen eyes
