Am                             F
There’s a distance in your eyes

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

Am                             F
When you call and you talk to me

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

Am                          F
She said all your songs are sad songs

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

Am                          F
Could you write me just one love song?

C                              G
Put my name somewhere in the middle of it

Am                     F
Its not hard to write Elizabeth

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

Am                       F
cause the truth is hard isn’t it?

C                                G
She said I’ll be listening in my favorite white dress
--------------- repeat the intro ----------------
Am                      F
All these quiet afternoons

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

Am                            F
As her hair fell from her curls

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

Am                          F
She said all your songs are sad songs

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

Am                            F
Could you write me just one love song?

C                             G
Put my name somewhere in the middle of it

Am                       F
And if you call the song Elizabeth

C                              G
All my friends will know that its about me

Am                       F
Cause the truth is hard isn’t it?

C                              G
But don't take too long I just know you’ll come back to me
Am/F/C/G
Am                         F
I said all these songs are love songs

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

Am                         F
So you write a string of words down

C                          G
Its better if there’s some truth in it

Am                  F
Its true I love you Elizabeth

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

Am                     F
Cause the truth is hard to admit

C
I've never known love

G
this is just my best guess
