Verse 1:
B
Oh Elise it doesn't
F#/A#
matter what you say
I just can't stay
G#m
here every yesterday
Like keep on
E
acting out the same
The way we act out
B
Every way to smile
F#/A#
Forget And make believe
we never needed
G#m
Any more than this
E
Any more than this

Verse 2:
B
Oh Elise it doesn't
F#/A#
matter what you do
I know I'll never
G#m
really get inside of you
E
To make your eyes catch fire
The way they should
B
The way the blue
could pull me in
F#/A#
If they only would
If they only would
G#m
At least I'd lose this
sense of sensing
E
something else
That hides away
B
But you and me
There're worlds to part
F#/A#
With aching looks
and breaking hearts
G#m
And all your prayers
hands can make
E
And Oh I just take as much
as you can throw
B F#/A#
And then throw it all away
G#m
Oh I throw it all away
E
Like throwing faces at the sky
Like throwing arms around
Chorus:
F#
Yesterday
I stood and stared
G#m
Wide eyed in front of you
F#
And the face I saw looked back
G#m
The way I wanted to
F#
But I just can't
hold my tears away
G#m
The way you do
A G#m
Elise believe I never wanted this
A
I thought this time I'd
G#m
keep all of my promises
A
I thought you were the girl
G#m
I always dreamed about
A
But I let the dream go
G#m
And the promises broke
C#m
And the make believe ran out

Outro:
B
And every time I try
F#/A#
to pick it up
Like falling sand
G#m
As fast as I pick it up
E
It runs away through
my clutching hands
B
But there's nothing
else I can really do
F#/A#
There's nothing else
I can really do
G#m
There's nothing else
D(hold)
I can really do At all
