[Verse 1]
C Dm
Oh Jeremiah, tell me what have you done
Dm C
You took all the love she gave, you took it all and away you run
C Dm
You can't keep all your love bottled inside, so you give it away to women
Dm
Almost a different woman every single night
C
Well, you think that you can hide from the morning light
[Chorus]
F G C
You forgot about sweet Sue
F G C
and the promises you said you'd do
F G C
She's gonna put you back up on the shelf
F G C
She does better by herself
[Instrumental]

Dm C
[Verse 2]
C Dm
Oh, Jeremiah, place the ring upon your finger
Dm C
Don't leave it at home again tonight, or in the pocket of your blue jeans
C Dm
You say this time tomorrow you'll be a different man, you'll change for the better
Dm C
I hope you keep your promises, I hope you keep them, my sweet Jeremiah
[Chorus]
F G C
You forgot about sweet Sue
F G C
and the promises you said you'd do
F G C
She's gonna put you back up on the shelf
F G C
She does better by herself
[Outro]
Dm G C Em Am
But she'll make sure to keep all the dust away from you
Dm G C
You're like wine, you get sweeter with time
