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

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