[Verse 1]
         G                C
Theres a distance in your eyes
       G                      D
That's why a smile is always such a surprise
         G                    C
When you call and you talk to me
  G                           D
I wonder which person you're gonna be
 
 
[Chorus]
          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 rhyme 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."
 
 
[Instrumental]
G    C    G    D
 
 
[Verse 2]
          G            C
All these quiet afternoons
          G                            D
She said "I wonder if I've given up my love too soon."
        G                 C
As her hair fell from her curls
         G                              D
I said, "You're pretty uptight for a Mexican girl."
 
 
[Chorus]
          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 called 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 cause I know you'll come back to me."
 
 
[Instrumental]
G    C    G    D
 
 
[Outro]
        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                        D
I've never known love this is just my best guess."
 
G    C    G    D
