Key: A 

Tuning: Standard EADGBe 

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 


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
