Susannah is a C chord
  F
Behind a gentle beat
     C
She has a kind of sadness
       G
She's simple and she's sweet
                C
And while we're out in other towns 
           F
Trying to make these strangers weep
Am                G                  F      C
She's holding it down, she's not pretending

              Am
She's not pretending that she'll change the world
       G
Or the way that others think
      C
She's holding it down in her home town
          F
And she's pouring the perfect drink
          Am
She's not prepared to stay forever
                G
She's just not saying when she'll go
    C
But one day you'll get to Gainsville
             F
She won't be there and then you'll know
