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
Its 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 its 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 G/D
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
Its better if there?s some truth in it
Em C
Its 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
End: Em
