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
