Em C
theres a distance in your eyes
G D
thats why the smile is always such a surprise
Em C
when you call and you talk to me
G D
i wonder which person youre 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 isnt it?
G D
she said ill 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 youre 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 isnt it?
G D
but don’t take too long i just know youll 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 theres 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
