1.       Who are you when the lights come up,

                      G                               A

    when the music fades and the crowd goes down ?

D                                                  F#m

    Where did you land when the spinning stopped,

                  G                             A

    are you far away in another town ?

Bm                                     F#m

    You were young and the lights were bright,

G                               D           A

    you went dancing into the night.

Bm                                             F#m

    You always said it would turn out alright,

          G                      A                   D

    Suzanne, will you tell me if you can.

 

D        A             Em                     G          - A

    Suzanne is it everything you wanted,

       D              A             Em                                                G      - A

Suzanne, Suzanne, is it everything you dreamed it would be ?

D                                                 F#m

    You reached for the stars and touched the sky,

G                                                D                 A

    you fell back down and you don’t know why.

       Bm           A                           G      - D

Suzanne you still shine bright to me.

2. You are the first one on and the last one off,

G                                               D                A

    who do you see when the mask comes off ?

                     Bm                                   F#m

    With your red wine teeth and your smokers cough,

G                                                       A

    Suzanne, I’m sure you’ve had enough.

Bm                                            F#m

    But you never cared for what I had to say,

G                                    D                       A

    now you go sleeping all through the day.

Bm                                      F#m

    Please, don’t dream your life away,

           G                      A                          D

    Suzanne, can you help me to understand ?

 

D         A             Em                     G          - A

    Suzanne, is it everything you wanted,

       D              A             Em                                                G     - A

Suzanne, Suzanne, is it everything you dreamed it would be ?

D                                  F#m

    For time takes everything she likes,

G                                               D             A

    and youth will leave like a thief in the night.

       Bm             A                           G      - D

Suzanne, you still shine bright to me !

+     Now you’re old and the lights are dim,

G                                                  D             A

    the band won’t play and the man won’t sing

                Bm                                         F#m

    all the songs that he sang when you danced with him,

           G                 A                        D

    Suzanne, can I take you by the hand ?

Suzanne, Suzanne, is it everything you dreamed it would be ?

D                                  F#m

    You never knew the rules to the game

G                            D                A

    drawn in like a moth to the flame.

     Bm                F#m

Suzanne, it is a crying shame

G                      A                                  - D

     that they’ll never know your name.
