Em                             CThere’s a distance in your eyes
G                                DThat’s why the smile is always such a surprise
Em                             CWhen you call and you talk to me
G                            DI wonder which person you’re going to be



Em                          CShe said all your songs are sad songs
G                                 DWhy do you always have to see the worst of it?
Em                          CCould you write me just one love song?
G                              DPut my name somewhere in the middle of it
Em                     CIts not hard to write Elizabeth
G                             Djust close your eyes boy and take your best guess
Em                       Ccause the truth is hard isn’t it?
G                                DShe said I’ll be listening in my favorite white dress

Em                      CAll these quiet afternoons
G                                  DShe said I wonder if I've given up my love too soon
Em                            CAs her hair fell from her curls
G                                   DI said you’re pretty uptight for a Mexican girl


Em                          CShe said all your songs are sad songs
G                                 DWhy do you always have to make me feel like shit?
Em                            CCould you write me just one love song?
G                             DPut my name somewhere in the middle of it
Em                       CAnd if you call the song Elizabeth
G                              DAll my friends will know that its about me
Em                       CCause the truth is hard isn’t it?
G                              DBut don't take too long I just know you’ll come back to me
