Intro 3x: A E F#m D

A                                 
Oh Elise it doesn't matter what 
   E
you say
I just can't stay here every 
 F#m
yesterday
             D
Like keep on acting out the same the
 way we act out
A                             
Every way to smile, forget, and 
   E
make-believe we never needed
F#m                  D
Any more than this, any more than 
this

(A E F#m D) (2x)

A                                 
Oh Elise it doesn't matter what 
   E
you do
                          F#m
I know I'll never 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
If they only would, if they only 
would
F#m                           
At least I'd lose this sense of 
           D
sensing something else

That hides away

A
From me and you there're worlds to 
part
E
With aching looks and breaking 
hearts
F#m
And all the prayers your hands can 
make

D                                 
Oh I just take as much as you can 
   A
throw
                        E
And then throw it all away
                    F#m
Oh I throw it all away
                    D
Like throwing faces at the sky
                          E
Like throwing arms round 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 keep all of
   F#m
 my promises
 G                                 
I thought you were the girl always 
  F#m
dreamed about

 G                             
But I let the dream go, and the 
F#m
promises broke

And the make-believe ran out...

Solo: E F#m 3x

      E D

      A E F#m D 3x


  A                             E
Oh elise it doesn't matter what you 
say
I just can't stay here every 
F#m
yesterday
             D
Like keep on acting out the same

The way we act out
A
Every way to smile, forget,
   E
And make-believe we never needed
F#m
Any more than this
D
Any more than this

A                            E
And every time I try 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
There's nothing else I can really do
F#m
There's nothing else
                D
I can really do at all...
