And what so small to you
Bb Csus2 Asus4
Is so large to me

Bb Csus2 Dsus2
I'll make you see
Verse 2 (same)
If you turn from me
You darken my sun
You snap that thin thread
I call my horizon
And I'd like to remind you
Of something small
That the rock in this pocket
Could cause your fall
Chorus twice
Dsus2 Instrumental for a few bars
Verse 3 (same)
I might be out like a light
Extinguished in the throw
But I'll hit my mark
And you'll know
Because I'm really well acquainted
With the span of your brow
And if you didn't know me then
You'll know me now
You'll know me now
Chorus twice and repeat last line 3 times
Fade with Dsus2 instrumental
Blood makes noise

The structure of this song is not very common for suzanne vega.
But if you want to play it, use following chords.
F# 244322
B 799877
A 577655
the saturated guitar beginning severals parts run like this :
F#
A
B
If you want it rings more rock, play like this :
F#5 244xxx
B5 799xxx
A5 577xxx
In fact, that's a very blues song.
But think the most difficult in this song is to sing it as fast
as suzanne (especially for non-english-mother-tongue people.. ;-D)

To make this sound right, you have to play the accenting well.
During the chorus and outro there is a second guitar part
layered on top (not tabbed).

Smile no smile
On this face today
Jerk like a thing on a string
And go join the parade
Code will keep your features in check
'Cause face is the place
Where the private goes public
And steps through the gate
Take your last kick now
At any regime
Smile no smile
See if they see what you mean
Da dac da...
