    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
