The Cure - A letter to elise

Oh ^AElise it doesn't matter what you ^Esay I just can't stay here every ^F#myesterday like keep on acting ^Dout the same the way we act out

^AEvery way to smile forget and ^Emake-believe we never needed ^F#mAny more than this ^Dany more than this

Oh ^AElise it doesn't matter what you ^Edo I know I'll never really ^F#mget inside of you to make your ^Deyes catch fire the way they should

The ^Away the blue could pull me in if ^Ethey only would if they only would at ^F#mleast I'd lose this sense of sensing ^Dsomething else that hides away

From ^Ame and you there're worlds to part with ^Eaching looks and breaking hearts and ^F#mall the prayers your hands can make oh ^DI just take as much as you can throw

^A And then throw it all away ^E Oh I throw it all away ^F#m Like throwing faces ^Dat the sky like throwing arms round

^EYesterday I stood and stared wide-^F#meyed in front of you and the ^Eface I saw looked back the way I ^F#mwanted to but I ^Ejust can't hold my tears away the ^F#mway you do

E^Glise believe I never ^F#mwanted this I ^Gthought this time I'd keep all of my ^F#mpromises I ^Gthought you were the girl I always ^F#mdreamed about But I ^Glet the dream go and the ^F#mpromises broke

So ^AElise it doesn't matter what you ^Esay I just can't stay here every ^F#myesterday like keep on acting ^Dout the same The way we act out

^AEvery way to smile forget and ^Emake-believe we never needed ^F#mAny more than this ^Dany more than this

And ^Aevery time I try to pick it ^Eup like falling sand As ^F#mfast as I pick it up it runs ^Daway through my clutching hands But there's ^Anothing else I can really do ^Ethere's nothing else I can really do ^F#mThere's nothing else I can really do at ^Dall...
