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


Verse 1

    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 Forget 
E/G#
And make believe we never needed
F#m
Any more than this
D
Any more than this


Instrumental : A  E/G#  F#m  D  


Verse 2 :

    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
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


Chorus:
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                                 F#m
But I just can't hold my tears away 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 I always dreamed about
      G                        F#m
But I let the dream go and the promises broke
        Em
And the make believe ran out


Instrumental : E  F#m E  F#m

Bridge : A  E/G#  F#m  D  
         A  E/G#  F#m  D  


    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 Forget 
E/G#
And make believe we never needed
F#m
Any more than this
D
Any more than this



    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
I can really do at all
