[Intro]
Em D G C G Em D G C
G C  G C


[Verse 1]
          G        C
You never asked me to
         G       C
I didn't think I could
               G
But I put that weight on me
C                G
Couldn't carry a cross of wood
C/G              C
Couldn't carry a cross of wood


[Pre-Chorus]
           G
I tried to pull you up
C           G
Turns out I wasn't enough
C        Am
I always let you down
                   B7
Who the hell did I think I was?


[Chorus]
C     D
Oh, Susannah
G            G/B        Em                   C      D
Don't you go cryin' for me, it's all gettin' better
           G                     Em                  C      D
I couldn't be who you want me to be, thought I was a savior
            G                 Em
But I was a fool on drunken behavior
            C                       D
Why did I believe I could save you, darlin'
                Em D/F# G  C
Without killin' me?
G               Em D/F# G  C
Without killin' me


[Verse 2]
                  G
We go together so bittersweet
C               G    C/G
Like misery and company
               G
And I know you can't say no
C                    G
I don't really wanna let you go
            Am
But I gotta leave, so you can be free
            B7
That's what you really need


[Chorus]
C     D
Oh, Susannah
G            G/B        Em                   C      D
Don't you go cryin' for me, it's all gettin' better
           G                     Em                  C      D
I couldn't be who you want me to be, thought I was a savior
            G                 Em
But I was a fool on drunken behavior
            C                       D
Why did I believe I could save you, darlin'
                Em D/F# G  C
Without killin' me?
G               Em D/F# G  C
Without killin' me

           G                     Em                  C      D
I couldn't be who you want me to be, thought I was a savior
            G                 Em
But I was a fool on drunken behavior
            C                       D
Why did I believe I could save you, darlin'
                C                       D
Oh, why did I believe I could save you, darlin'
