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
