Oh Elise it doesn't matter what you say
                             F#m
I just can't stay here every yesterday
              D
Like keep on 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

( A  E  F#m  D )

   A                                E/G#                         
Oh Elise it doesn't matter what 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/G#                                                  
If they only would
                                                         
If they only would
   F#m                                  D                      
At least i'd lose this sense of sensing 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 the prayers your hands can make
  D                                                        
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 round
       
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                                     F#m                   
I thought this time i'd keep all of my promises
  G                                 F#m                      
I thought you were the girl always dreamed about
       G                                                   
But I let the dream go
          F#m                                                
And the promises broke
          Bm                                                
And the make believe ran out...

Oh Elise it doesn't matter what you say
                             F#m
I just can't stay here every yesterday
              D
Like keep on 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
    A                            E/G#                          
And every time i try to pick it up
                                                          
Like falling sand
   F#m                                                       
As fast as iI pick it up
         D                                                 
It runs away through my clutching hands
             A                                             
But there's nothing else I can really do
         F#m                                                 
There's nothing else
                                                          
I can really do
    D                                                      
At all
