The Cure – A Letter To Elise (Ukulele)

   A                               E
oh elise it doesn't matter what you say

                             Bm
I just can't stay here every yesterday

                    D
like keep on acting out the same

A
every way to smile

    E
and make-believe we never needed

Bm
any more than this

D
any more than this

    A                               E
oh elise it doesn't matter what you do

                         Bm
I know i'll never really get inside of you

             D
to make your eyes catch fire

A
the way the blue could pull me in

        E
if they only would

   Bm                                        D
at least I'd lose this sense of sensing something else

A
from me and you

     E
with aching looks and breaking hearts

    Bm
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

Bm
like throwing faces at the sky

     D
like throwing arms around

E
yesterday

     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

      Bm
but I let the dream go

        D
and the promises broke

                         A
and the make-believe ran out...

    A
so elise

                           E
it doesn't matter what you say

                             Bm
I just can't stay here every yesterday

                    D
like keep on acting out the same

A
every way to smile

    E
and make-believe we never needed

Bm
any more than this

D
any more than this

    A                           E
and every time I try to pick it up

Bm
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

Bm
there's nothing else I can really do

   D
at all...
