I love this song because I don't know really what it's about.
And in the way I grew up, everything that you ever heard,
especially if it involved Jesus, you knew exactly what it meant.
And I love that I don't know exactly what this song means, but I love it.
[Eb]
It opened a door for me.
So, this one is called, What Susan Said.
[Db]
And I still don't know who Susan is or what she said.
Don't tell me.
I don't want to know.
I like the mystery.
Alright.
[Gb] [Db] Two lonely yoke boys in a pickup truck,
and they're driving through the wind and the heat.
And [Bb] the skin's so sweaty, they both [Ebm] get stuck to the old black vinyl seats.
And it's Abbott and [Gb] Costello, me, Paul, and [Eb] Silas.
It's the love of Jesus putting on flesh [Db] and blood, and we both feel lost.
I [F] remember what Susan [Bbm] said.
Love [Ebm] is found in the things we've given up,
[Bb] more than in the things that we've got.
Ain't [Db] it funny what people say?
Ain't [Bbm] it funny what people write?
Ain't [Ebm] it funny how it hits you so hard [Ab] in the middle of the night?
If your home is [B] just another place where [Gb] you're a stranger,
[Ebm] and far away is [Ab] just somewhere you've [Gb] never been.
[Db]
I hope that [Gb] you'll remember that I [Db] was your friend.
Two full-grown men in a huddle of kids,
[Bb] and they're trying to help them to [Db] believe
[Ab] what is too good to be [Eb] real,
but is [Ebm] more real than the air they breathe.
[Gb] And it's Wally and the Beaver, and David and Jonathan.
[Bb] It's the love of Jesus [Ab] putting on flesh and blood, [Db] and we both feel lost.
I [Bbm] remember what Susan said.
Love is [Ebm] found in the things we've given up,
more [Ab] than in the things that we've got.
Ain't it funny what [Db] people say?
Ain't it [Bbm] funny what people write?
Ain't it [Ebm] funny how it hits you so hard [Ab] in the middle of the night?
I [Db] remember what Susan said.

[Bb] [Db] Ain't it funny what people say?

[Ebm] Ain't it funny how it hits you so hard [Ab] in the middle of the night?
If your home [B] is just another place where you're [Gb] a stranger
[Bbm] Far away is just somewhere [Gb] you've never been
I [Db]
hope [Gb] that you'll remember
That I [Db] was your friend.
[Ebm] [Gb] I hope you have the strength [Ab] to just remember
I'm still your [Db] friend
[Gb] [Ab] [Db]
