Em                             C
There’s a distance in your eyes

G                                D
That’s why the smile is always such a surprise

Em                             C
When you call and you talk to me

G                            D
I wonder which person you’re going to be

Em                          C
She said all your songs are sad songs

G                                 D
Why do you always have to see the worst of it?

Em                          C
Could you write me just one love song?

G                              D
Put my name somewhere in the middle of it

Em                      C
It's not hard to write Elizabeth

G                             D
just close your eyes boy and take your best guess

Em                       C
cause the truth is hard isn’t it?

G                                D
She said I’ll be listening in my favorite white dress

Em                      C
All these quiet afternoons

G                                  D
She said I wonder if I've given up my love too soon

Em                            C
As her hair fell from her curls

G                                   D
I said you’re pretty uptight for a Mexican girl

Em                          C
She said all your songs are sad songs

G                                 D
Why do you always have to make me feel like shit?

Em                            C
Could you write me just one love song?

G                             D
Put my name somewhere in the middle of it

Em                       C
And if you call the song Elizabeth

G                              D
All my friends will know that it's about me

Em                       C
Cause the truth is hard isn’t it?

G                              D
But don't take too long I just know you’ll come back to me

Em                         C
I said all these songs are love songs

G                               D
Just love at times can make you feel like shit

Em                         C
So you write a string of words down

G                           D
It's better if there’s some truth in it

Em                   C
It's true I love you Elizabeth

G                               D
I love the way you move in that silly white dress

Em                     C
Cause the truth is hard to admit

G
I've never known love

D
This is just my best guess
