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
