Key: A 

Tuning: Standard EADGBe 

Intro: A  E/G#  F#m  D   x2 


Verse 1: 
    A 
Oh Elise it doesn't  
                E/G# 
matter what you say 
I just can't stay  
           F#m 
here every yesterday 
Like keep on  
D 
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 


Interlude: A  E  F#m  D   


Verse 2: 
    A 
Oh Elise it doesn't  
                E/G# 
matter what you do 
I know I'll never  
       F#m 
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 
At least I'd lose this  
sense of sensing  
D 
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 your prayers 
hands can make 
   D 
And 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 around 


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 
I thought this time I'd  
               F#m 
keep all of my promises 
  G 
I thought you were the girl 
         F#m 
I always dreamed about 
      G 
But I let the dream go 
        F#m 
And the promises broke 
        Bm 
And the make believe ran out 


Interlude: E  F#m   x2, A  Bm  E  C#m   

Silence: A  E/G#  F#m  D   

Distortion: A  E  F#m  D   


(Repeat Verse 1) 


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