Standard (EADGBE)
And he's half in love with Elizabeth
And he's half in love with you
Some things are too painful to say out loud
Well, they live behind a veil and see through a shroud
Words fly through his mouth
Like paper butterflies
Well they flutter around and put holes in your side
(Same the whole way through with the same chords)
And he's half in love with Elizabeth
And he's half in love with you
I knew that you were thinking of him last night
'Cos I saw the blood seep down to your toes
Turn away if you must
But how can you put your trust
In a man who always sleeps in his clothes?
And he's half in love with Elizabeth
And he's half in love with you
And he's half in love with Elizabeth
And he's half in love with you
You're the sweet scent on an envelope
Or the photo in its pass
But if you pin your hopes to his back my dear
I'm afraid the bubble will burst
I'm afraid that the bubble just might burst
The bubble will burst
The bubble will burst
The bubble will burst
The bubble will burst
The bubble will burst
The bubble will burst
The bubble will burst
The bubble will burst
The bubble will burst
The bubble will burst
The bubble will burst
The bubble will burst
And he's half in love with Elizabeth
And he's half in love with you
And he's half in love with Elizabeth
And he's half in love with you
