Oh Elise it doesn't

matter what you do
I know I'll never

really get inside of you

To make your eyes catch fire
The way they should

The way the blue
could pull me in
A#/D
If they only would
If they only would
Cm
At least I'd lose this
sense of sensing
G#
something else
That hides away
D#
But you and me
There're worlds to part
A#/D
With aching looks
and breaking hearts
Cm
And all your prayers
hands can make

And Oh I just take as much
as you can throw

And then throw it all away
Cm
Oh I throw it all away

Like throwing faces at the sky
Like throwing arms around

A#
Yesterday
I stood and stared
Cm
Wide eyed in front of you
A#
And the face I saw looked back
Cm
The way I wanted to

But I just can't
hold my tears away
Cm
The way you do
C# Cm
Elise believe I never wanted this
C#
I thought this time I'd

But I let the dream go
Cm
And the promises broke

And the make believe ran out

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