Elisabeth Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[F][C][G][Am][G]
[F][C][G][Am][G]

[Verse 1]
You [F]ain't no shrinkin' violet are you?
And you [C]love to bat your eyelids, don't you?
[G]You know all the times that I'm a[Am]shamed[G]
And [F]all those words words you said,
misspoken
To [C]all those boys who left you broken
[G]Ain't no need for placing any [Am]blame[G]
'Cause if it [F]wasn't for you cryin' there
In [C]Ohio just last year
[G]All the love I got would've been in [Am]vain[G]
So [F]I'll wake up for work
And tug a [C]little on your shirt
Hope you [G]know the depths I'd go
would be in[Am]sane[G]

[Chorus 1]
For a [F]girl like you
Who needs [C]trust but needs freedom
Who [G]wants love
But would be fine on her [Am]own[G]
For a [F]girl like you
With your [C]daddy's mannerisms
And a [G]soft smile
Makes the distance less a[Am]lone[G]
In a [F]world that's full of [C]wanting
what is [G]next
[Am]I'll stay here with [G]you, Elisabeth

[Interlude 1]
[F][C][G][Am]
[F][C][G][Am]

[Verse 2]
[F]You are here at just the right time
At [C]twenty-three years, it's felt a lifetime
My [G]mama, she must trust you
through and [Am]through[G]
'Cause she [F]left me with a [C]girl like you
[G][G]

[Chorus 2]
A [F]girl like you
Who needs [C]trust but needs freedom
Who [G]wants love
But would be fine on her [Am]own[G]
[F]Girl like you
With your [C]daddy's mannerisms
And a [G]soft smile
Makes the distance less a[Am]lone[G]
In a [F]world that's full of [C]wanting
what is [G]next
[Am]I'll stay here with [G]you, Elisabeth

[Interlude 2]

[F][C][G][Am]

[Outro 1]
You [F]ain't no shrinkin' violet are you?
And you [C]love to bat your eyelids, don't you?
[G]You know all the times that I'm a[Am]shamed
