Verse 1:
D
Oh Elise it doesn't
A/C#
matter what you say
I just can't stay
Bm
here every yesterday
Like keep on
G
acting out the same
The way we act out
D
Every way to smile
A/C#
Forget And make believe
we never needed
Bm
Any more than this
G
Any more than this

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

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