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
chorus :
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
interlude : E F#m x2 , A Bm E C#m
silence : A E/G# F#m D
distortion : A E F#m D
( repeat verse 1 )
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
