    A                               E/G#
Oh Elise it doesn't matter what you say
                             F#m
I just can't stay here every yesterday
              D
Like keep on acting out the same

The way we act out
A
Every way to smile
            E/G#
Forget and make believe we never needed

F#m
Any more than this
D
Any more than this

( A  E  F#m  D )

   A                                E/G#
Oh Elise it doesn't matter what you do

                         F#m
I know i'll never really get inside of you
              D
To make your eyes catch fire

The way they should
     A
The way the blue could pull me in
         E/G#
If they only would

If they only would
   F#m                                  D
At least i'd lose this sense of sensing something else

That hides away
    A
But you and me

There're worlds to part
     E/G#
With aching looks and breaking hearts
    F#m
And all the prayers your hands can make
  D
Oh I just take as much as you can throw
A                      E/G#
And then throw it all away
                   F#m
Oh i throw it all away
                      D
Like throwing faces at the sky

Like throwing arms round

E
Yesterday

I stood and stared
    F#m
Wide eyed in front of you
        E
And the face i saw looked back
         F#m
The way I wanted to
      E
But I just can't hold my tears away

    F#m
The way you do
 G                      F#m
Elise believe I never wanted this
  G                                     F#m
I thought this time i'd keep all of my promises
  G                                 F#m
I thought you were the girl always dreamed about
       G
But I let the dream go
          F#m
And the promises broke
          Bm
And the make believe ran out...

Any more than this
D
Any more than this
    A                            E/G#
And every time i try to pick it up

Like falling sand

   F#m
As fast as iI pick it up
         D
It runs away through my clutching hands
             A
But there's nothing else I can really do
         F#m
There's nothing else

I can really do
    D
At all
