Elizabeth Taylor
Am G Fmaj7
Do you think it's forever?
Am G Fmaj7
That view of Portofino was on my mind when you
Am G F
Called me at the Plaza Athénée, Ooh oftentimes it doesn't feel so glamorous to be me
Am G Fmaj7

Am G Fmaj7

Em Fmaj7
And if your letters ever said “Goodbye” I'd…
[Chorus 1]
Am G Fmaj7 G
Cry my eyes violet, Elizabeth Taylor, tell me for real
Am G Fmaj7 G
Do you think it's forever? Been number one but I never had two, And I can't have fun if I can't have…
Am G Fmaj7 G
Be my NY when Hollywood hates me, You're only as hot as your last hit baby
Am G Fmaj7 G
Been number one but I never had two, And I can't have fun if I can't have… you

Am G Fmaj7 G
Cry my eyes violet, Elizabeth Taylor, tell me for real
Am G Fmaj7 G
Do you think it's forever? Been number one but I never had two, And I can't have fun if I can't have…
Am G Fmaj7 G
Be my NY when Hollywood hates me, You're only as hot as your last hit baby
Am G Fmaj7 G
Been number one but I never had two, And I can't have fun if I can't have… you

Do you think it's forever? If I can't have you
Dm G
All my white diamonds and lovers are forever
Dm Am
In the papers, on the screen and in their minds

All my white diamonds and lovers are forever

Don't you ever end up anything but mine…
[Chorus 3]
