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...
