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 It's 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 ---------------- repeat the intro ---------------- 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 it's 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 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 I've never known love D This is just my best guess Ending Em C G D
