          F#                   A#m
With the sun on the snow, and snow on the tiles
G#m                    F#            B/D#       F#/C# B/D#
You ain’t seen dancing like this in quite a while
           F#                       A#m
You wanna take her away, you wanna take her so far
    G#m                    F#           B/D#  F#/C# B/D#
But she only walks on the lines of her palms

     C#         F#/C#       C#         F#/C#
But them’s the breaks, oh them’s the breaks
              D#m                G#m
Take what you can, take what you see
               B                            C#7
Take what you lands, and the walls, and the sea

Chorus:
 F#            A#m D#m
Elizabeth, oh Elizabeth,
  C#            F#              B
you're the only one who's ever come close
 F#             A#m D#m
Elizabeth, oh Elizabeth,
  C#            F#              B
you're the only one who's ever come close
      C#             F#              B
yeah you're the only one who's ever come close

And just when you think that you wanna run
She pulls you, she tugs you, she takes you to her home
You look her in the eyes, you think that you won but
don't be a fool man, she don't fall in love

Oh then's the breaks, then's the breaks
Take what you can, take what you need
Take all the stands, and the roles and see

Chorus:
Elizabeth, oh Elizabeth,
you're the only one that has ever come close
Elizabeth, oh Elizabeth,
oh you're the only one that has ever come close
You're the only one that has ever come close
