matter what you say
I just can't stay

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

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