matter what you say
I just can't stay

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

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