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