G# D#7 Oh Elise it doesnʼt matter what you say A#m I just canʼt stay here every yesterday C# like keep on acting out the same the way we act out G# every way to smile forget D#7 and make-believe we never needed A#m any more than this C# any more than this G# D#7 Oh Elise it doesnʼt matter what you do A#m I know iʼll never really get inside of you C# to make your eyes catch fire the way they should G# the way the blue could pull me in D#7 if they only would if they only would A#m C# at least Iʼd lose this sense of sensing something else that hides away G# from me and you thereʼre worlds to part D#7 with aching looks and breaking hearts A#m and all the prayers your hands can make C# oh I just take as much as you can throw G# and then I throw it all away D#7 oh I throw it all away A#m like throwing faces at the sky C# like throwing arms around D#7 yesterday I stood and stared Fm wide-eyed in front of you D#7 and the face I saw looked back Fm the way I wanted to D#7 but I just canʼt hold my tears away Fm the way you do F# Fm Elise believe I never wanted this F# Fm I thought this time Iʼd keep all of my promises F# Fm I thought you were the girl always dreamed about A#m but I let the dream go C# and the promises broke G# and the make-believe ran out... G# So Elise D#7 it doesnʼt matter what you say A#m I just canʼt stay here every yesterday C# like keep on acting out the same the way we act out G# every way to smile forget D#7 and make-believe we never needed A#m any more than this C# any more than this G# D#7 and every time I try to pick it up like falling sand A#m as fast as I pick it up C# it runs away through my clutching hands G# and thereʼs nothing else I can really do D#7 thereʼs nothing else I can really do A#m thereʼs nothing else I can really do C# at all...
