[Verse] A E 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 forget E and make-believe we never needed F#m any more than this D any more than this [Verse 2] A E 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 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 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 throw A and then I throw it all away E oh I throw it all away F#m like throwing faces at the sky D 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 [Bridge] 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 E and the make-believe ran out... [Verse 3] A so Elise E 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 forget E and make-believe we never needed F#m any more than this D any more than this [Outro] 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 and there's nothing else I can really do E there's nothing else I can really do F#m there's nothing else I can really do D at all...
