VERSE 1:
Oh GElise it doesn't matter what you Dsay,
I just can't stay here every Emyesterday.
Like keep on acting C/Gout the same,
The way we act out,
Gevery way to smile.
Forget,
And Dmake-believe we never needed,
EmAny more than this.
C/GAny more than this.
VERSE 2:
Oh GElise it doesn't matter what you Ddo,
I know I?ll never really Emget inside of you.
To make your C/Geyes catch fire,
The way they should.
GThe way the blue could pull me in,
If they Donly would.
If they only would,
At Emleast I?d lose this sense of sensing someC/Gthing else,
That hides away.
GFrom me and you,
There 're worlds to part,
With Daching looks and breaking hearts,
And Emall the prayers your hands can make.
Oh, C/GI just take as much as you can throw,
GAnd then throw it all away.
DOh, I throw it all away.
EmLike throwing faces at the sky,
Like C/Gthrowing arms round,
DYesterday.
I stood and stared,
Wide-Emeyed in front of you,
And Dthe face i saw looked back,
the way EmI wanted to,
But i Djust can't hold my tears away,
The Emway you do.
CHORUS:
FElise believe I Emnever wanted this,
I Fthought this time I?d keep all of my Empromises.
I Fthought you were the girl always Emdreamed about,
But FI let the dream go,
And the Empromises broke,
And the make-believe ran Dout...

VERSE 3:
Oh, GElise,
It doesn't matter what you Dsay.
I just can't stay here every Emyesterday,
Like keep on acting C/Gout the same.
The way we act out,
GEvery way to smile,
Forget.
And Dmake-believe we never needed,
EmAny more than this,
C/GAny more than this.
And Gevery time I try to pick it Dup,
Like falling sand,
EmAs fast as i pick it up.
It runs C/Gaway through my clutching hands,
But there's Gnothing else i can really do.
DThere's nothing else,
I can really do,
C/G (Em)(G) [Fade]
at all...
