There’s a distance in your eyes
G+G 
D MajorD
That’s why the smile is always such a surprise
E minorEm C majorC
When you call and you talk to me
G+G D MajorD
I wonder which person you’re going to be
E minorEm C majorC
She said all your songs are sad songs
G+G D MajorD
Why do you always have to see the worst of it?
E minorEm C majorC
Could you write me just one love song?
G+G D MajorD
Put my name somewhere in the middle of it
E minorEm C majorC
Its not hard to write Elizabeth
G+G D MajorD
just close your eyes boy and take your best guess
E minorEm C majorC
cause the truth is hard isn’t it?
G+G D MajorD
She said I’ll be listening in my favorite white dress

E minorEm C majorC
All these quiet afternoons
G+G D MajorD
She said I wonder if I've given up my love too soon
E minorEm C majorC
As her hair fell from her curls
G+G D MajorD
I said you’re pretty uptight for a Mexican girl
E minorEm C majorC
She said all your songs are sad songs
G+G D MajorD
Why do you always have to make me feel like shit?
E minorEm C majorC
Could you write me just one love song?
G+G D MajorD
Put my name somewhere in the middle of it
E minorEm C majorC
And if you call the song Elizabeth
G+G D MajorD
All my friends will know that its about me
E minorEm C majorC
Cause the truth is hard isn’t it?
G+G D MajorD
But don't take too long I just know you’ll come back to me
Em/C/G/D
E minorEm C majorC
I said all these songs are love songs
G+G D MajorD
Just love at times can make you feel like shit
E minorEm C majorC
So you write a string of words down
G+G D MajorD
Its better if there’s some truth in it
E minorEm C majorC
Its true I love you Elizabeth
G+G D MajorD
I love the way you move in that silly white dress
E minorEm C majorC
Cause the truth is hard to admit

I've never known love
D MajorD
this is just my best guess
