A#
Oh Elise it doesn't
F/A
matter what you say
I just can't stay
Gm
here every yesterday
Like keep on

Verse 2:
A#
Oh Elise it doesn't
F/A
matter what you do
I know I'll never
Gm
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
F/A
If they only would
If they only would
Gm
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
F/A
With aching looks
and breaking hearts
Gm
And all your prayers
hands can make
D#
And Oh I just take as much
as you can throw
A# F/A
And then throw it all away
Gm
Oh I throw it all away
D#
Like throwing faces at the sky
Like throwing arms around
Chorus:
F
Yesterday
I stood and stared
Gm
Wide eyed in front of you
F
And the face I saw looked back
Gm
The way I wanted to
F
But I just can't
hold my tears away
Gm
The way you do
G# Gm
Elise believe I never wanted this
G#
I thought this time I'd
Gm
keep all of my promises
G#
I thought you were the girl
Gm
I always dreamed about
G#
But I let the dream go
Gm
And the promises broke
Cm
And the make believe ran out

Outro:
A#
And every time I try
F/A
to pick it up
Like falling sand
Gm
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
F/A
There's nothing else
I can really do
Gm
There's nothing else
D(hold)
I can really do At all
