Behind Susan's Eyes Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
Was this the girl who caught [Em]my eye
[G]Three lockers down from min[D]e
[G]Who floated through
the school[C]yard lines
And [G]taught [D]the sun to shine
[G]

[Verse 2]
Was I the boy who sang [Em]his dreams
[G]While thinking just of [D]you
[G]A shadow in the moonlight nig[C]ht
On [G]Belmont [D]Aven[G]ue

[Verse 3]
Whoa, [Em]we were the pair who d[C]anced alone
[Em]Upon the rooft[C]op high
[Em]The moon glows on [C]the radio
beneath the dia[D]mond sky, oh

[Verse 4]
[C]If I knew all the[G] answers
[C]I'd win the Nobel [G]prize
[C]But I'm content to [G]know they
lie behind [D]Susan's eyes
Be[Em]hind Susan's eyes

[Verse 5]
[G]And wasn't I the rebel kin[Em]g
[G]Turning wil[D]d 17[G]
While you saw through my fantas[C]ies
[G]A neighborhood s[D]aw J[G]ames Dean

[Verse 6]
Was this the girl who laughed [Em]at me
[G]But finally wore my rin[D]g
[G]Who really voiced [C]the soft complaint
[G]And anc[D]hored eve[G]rything

[Verse 7]
Whoa, [Em]didn't we just [C]run away
[Em]Through all the [C]fields of gold
[Em]Where we could stay
[C]forever young
We never [D]would grow old
We nev[C]er would grow [D]old

[Verse 8]
Whoa, if [C]I knew all the ans[G]wers
[C]I'd win the Nobel pri[G]ze
[C]But I'm content to [G]know they
lie behind [D]Susan's eyes
Be[Em]hind Susan's eyes

[Interlude 1]
[Em][G]
[Em][G][D][G][C]
[G][D][G]

[Verse 9]
Was I the man who broke your [Em]heart
[G]In ten thou[D]sand [G]little [D]ways
[G]With all the pain in [C]the passing years
And the [G]sleepless [D]nights and [G]days

[Verse 10]
But [Em]didn't all those years [C]sail [Em]by
With laughter [C]an d some tears
[Em]Those newborn fingers [C]holding ours
Among [D]our souvenirs

[Verse 11]
Whoa, if [C]I knew all the ans[G]wers
[C]I'd win the Nobel [G]prize
[C]But I'm content to [G]know they
lie [D]behind Susan's eyes
Be[Em]hind Susan's eyes

[Verse 12]
[Em]
Wer[G]en't tiny feet upon [Em]the sand
[G]A blend of you and me[D]
[G]Young barefoot strangers on [C]the beach
In [G]living [D]fantasy[G]

[Verse 13]
[G]Well, isn't life an end[Em]less song
[G]Just slightly out of [D]rhyme
[G]And didn't you play eve[C]ry note
That [G]echoed [D]down through [G]time

[Verse 14]
[Em]Oh, weren't we just [C]a storybook
[Em]Whoa, much more than[C] we seemed
[Em]I think I'd thank the [C]lord above
Who gave [D]me all my dreams
[Em]Who gave me all my dreams

[Interlude 2]
Gave me all my dreams
[D][G][Em][G][Em]

[Verse 15]
[G]Was this the girl who caught my [Em]eye
Was this the girl who caught my eye
