A A G#m F#m E
By God won't you please just cut out the lights
[Verse]
E B7
Suzanne won't you help me to draw the line
E
Between floozy women and having cigarettes with wine
B7
There seems to be no room here for my laughter
E
But you never seemed to mind all those nights before

By God won't you please just cut out the lights

But whatever you do
E
Won't you leave my candle burning
[Verse]
E B7
Working for nickel down at the armory
E
Trying to support my dime life style
B7
The bossman telling me I better get it done
E
What a way to treat the boy who's your only son

E B7
Count your money out on your own time
E
You stole somebody's heart my dear but it sure as hell wasn't mine
B7
Pick your rags up off my bedroom floor
E
I done told you one time you're not welcome here no more
