She’s Bound to Get Hurt
Capo 1
[E]	[Bm]
[D]	[E]
[E]				[Bm]
“I think I’m changing,” said Suzanne
[D]				[E]
From her beach chair in the sand
[E]				[Bm]
Let’s try to get in one more swim
[D]				[E]
Before the evening tide comes in
[E]			[Bm]
Sitting by the windowsill
[D]				[E]
Now there’s too much time to kill
[E]				[Bm]
Old man, do you think we’ll pull through?
[D]			[E]
Believe in me like I do you
[B]	[F#m]
Take me home
[B]	[F#m]
I want to go home
[E]			   [Bm]
You first told me you loved me
[D]			[E]
At our picnic by the sea
[E]			     [Bm]
Yes, the tides they rise and fall
[D]		           [E]
We married at the old town hall
[E]			    [Bm]
Children grown the house is still
[D]			         [E]
And now there’s too much time to kill
[E]				 [Bm]
Suzanne, do you think we’ll pull through?
[D]			[E]
Believe in me like I do you
	[B]	[F#m]
Take me home
             [B]    [F#m]
I want to go home
