Oh Elise it doesn't

matter what you say
I just can't stay

here every yesterday
Like keep on

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

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