G
Oh Elise it doesn't

matter what you say
I just can't stay

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

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