Both your second and fourth bars are short one 16th note - maybe you  
meant

   \set chordChanges = ##t  %only show chord changes (ie. not  
repeated chords)
   g1 | g4..:sus4 g16 ~ g2 | \break bes1 | b4..:sus4 bes16 ~ bes2

Double-dotted notes are rare, especially in pop music - more typically  
you might write this rhythm out (provided this is the rhythm you want)  
as

   g1 | g4:sus4 ~ g8.:sus4 g16 ~ g2 | \break bes1 | b4:sus4 ~  
b8.:sus4 bes16 ~ bes2
