I just wanted to say goodnight

I hear the music playin'
   G        D
But I no longer understand
 D         F#m
Around the corner, down the street
   G              A
It's got to be better than where I am


CHORUS:
  G           A
I see it all now, as the light grows dim
     Bm            G
And the world starts to close its eyes
     G        A
I just wanted to say goodnight
     D
Sweet Suzanne

VERSE:
 D    F#m G      D
Time goes by, oh, so quietly
 D      F#m
Hazy days and memories
      G         A
And in the end there was only me
G           A
Wouldn't have been, I ask sometimes
Bm         G
But I see myself inside this rhyme
 G           A
Enjoyed what I had back then
G         A
 Would I do it again?

I just wanted to say goodnight again
