Intro
F C/E Dm A# x2
Verse 1:
F
Oh Elise it doesn't
C/E
matter what you say
I just can't stay
Dm
here every yesterday
Like keep on
A#
acting out the same
The way we act out
F
Every way to smile
C/E
Forget And make believe
we never needed
Dm
Any more than this
A#
Any more than this
Interlude: F C Dm A#
Verse 2:
F
Oh Elise it doesn't
C/E
matter what you do
I know I'll never
Dm
really get inside of you
A#
To make your eyes catch fire
The way they should
F
The way the blue
could pull me in
C/E
If they only would
If they only would
Dm
At least I'd lose this
sense of sensing
A#
something else
That hides away
F
But you and me
There're worlds to part
C/E
With aching looks
and breaking hearts
Dm
And all your prayers
hands can make
A#
And Oh I just take as much
as you can throw
F C/E
And then throw it all away
Dm
Oh I throw it all away
A#
Like throwing faces at the sky
Like throwing arms around
Chorus:
C
Yesterday
I stood and stared
Dm
Wide eyed in front of you
C
And the face I saw looked back
Dm
The way I wanted to
C
But I just can't
hold my tears away
Dm
The way you do
D# Dm
Elise believe I never wanted this
D#
I thought this time I'd
Dm
keep all of my promises
D#
I thought you were the girl
Dm
I always dreamed about
D#
But I let the dream go
Dm
And the promises broke
Gm
And the make believe ran out

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