A Letter to Elise

-----------------

A E

oh elise it doesn't matter what you say

Bm

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

and make-believe we never needed

Bm

any more than this

D

any more than this

A E

oh elise it doesn't matter what you do

Bm

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

if they only would

if they only would

Bm D

at least I'd lose this sense of sensing something else

that hides away

A

from me and you

there're worlds to part

E

with aching looks and breaking hearts

Bm

and all the prayers your hands can make

D

oh I just take as much as you can throw

A

and then I throw it all away

E

oh I throw it all away

Bm

like throwing faces at the sky

D

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 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

Bm

but I let the dream go

D

and the promises broke

A

and the make-believe ran out...

A

so elise

E

it doesn't matter what you say

Bm

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

and make-believe we never needed

Bm

any more than this

D

any more than this

A E

and every time I try to pick it up

like falling sand

Bm

as fast as I pick it up

D

it runs away through my clutching hands

A

and there's nothing else I can really do

E

there's nothing else I can really do

Bm

there's nothing else I can really do

D

at all...
