Tuning: Standard EADGBe
Intro: A E/G# F#m D x2
Verse 1:
A
Oh Elise it doesn't
E/G#
matter what you say
I just can't stay
F#m
here every yesterday
Like keep on
D
acting out the same
The way we act out
A
Every way to smile
E/G#
Forget And make believe
we never needed
F#m
Any more than this
D
Any more than this
Interlude: A E F#m D
Verse 2:
A
Oh Elise it doesn't
E/G#
matter what you do
I know I'll never
F#m
really get inside of you
D
To make your eyes catch fire
The way they should
A
The way the blue
could pull me in
E/G#
If they only would
If they only would
F#m
At least I'd lose this
sense of sensing
D
something else
That hides away
A
But you and me
There're worlds to part
E/G#
With aching looks
and breaking hearts
F#m
And all your prayers
hands can make
D
And Oh I just take as much
as you can throw
A E/G#
And then throw it all away
F#m
Oh I throw it all away
D
Like throwing faces at the sky
Like throwing arms around
E
Yesterday
I stood and stared
F#m
Wide eyed in front of you
E
And the face I saw looked back
F#m
The way I wanted to
E
But I just can't
hold my tears away
F#m
The way you do
G F#m
Elise believe I never wanted this
G
I thought this time I'd
F#m
keep all of my promises
G
I thought you were the girl
F#m
I always dreamed about
G
But I let the dream go
F#m
And the promises broke
Bm
And the make believe ran out

Outro:
A
And every time I try
E/G#
to pick it up
Like falling sand
F#m
As fast as I pick it up
D
It runs away through
my clutching hands
A
But there's nothing
else I can really do
E/G#
There's nothing else
I can really do
F#m
There's nothing else
D(hold)
I can really do At all
