[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                                        
You can't keep all your love bottled inside, 
                   Dm
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]

[Verse 2]
C                                      Dm
Oh, Jeremiah, place the ring upon your finger
      Dm                              
Don't leave it at home again tonight, 
           C
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                  
I hope you keep your promises, 
                       C
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
