Suzy, where are you?
E5 D5 B5
I was living just for loving just from you

Suzy, you used to lay me down
E5 D5 B5
But the ragged wind blows me through the town
A G E
In and out the pubs with my cigarette,
A G E
My face don't receive me till my back gets wet
A G E
Have all my dreams come down to this?
E D B E D B
Standing by a silent telephone, me and baker lite all alone
B5 D5 E5
Now the city seems to be a hive of bees
E5 D5 B5
I lost my chance dancing on my knees
B5 D5 E5
The cops are making me look all around,
E5 D5 B5
But my legs will always beat the ground
A G E
After we've packed up and the boys have all gone home,
A G E
My brain's still racing but my body's all alone.

Have all my dreams come down to this?

Standing by a silent telephone,

Me and baker lite all alone

Suzy, you think I'm stepping out
E5 D5 B5
But one look at my face will kill your doubts

Midnight on the clock and the door didn't knock,
A G E
The dawn begins to sing but my phone don't ring.
A G E
Have all my dreams come down to this?

Standing by a silent telephone, me and baker lite all alone
