A Letter To Elise

G D Em C (2x) G D Oh Elise it doesn't matter what you say Em I just can't stay here every yesterday C Like keep on acting out the same the way we act out G D Every way to smile forget and make-believe Em We never needed any more than this C Any more than this G D Em C G D Oh Elise it doesn't matter what you do Em I know I'll never really get inside of you C To make your eyes catch fire the way they should G The way the blue could pull me in D If they only would If they only would Em At least I'd lose this sense C Of sensing something else that hides away G From me and you there're worlds to part D With aching looks and breaking hearts Em And all the prayers your hands can make C G Oh I just take as much as you can throw D And then throw it all away Em Oh I throw it all away C Like throwing faces at the sky Like throwing arms round D Yesterday Em I stood and stared wide-eyed in front of you D Em And the face I saw looked back the way I wanted to D Em But I just can't hold my tears away the way you do Fmaj7#11 Em Elise believe I never wanted this Fmaj7#11 Em I thought this time I'd keep all of my promises Fmaj7#11 Em I thought you were the girl I always dreamed about Fmaj7#11 But I let the dream go Em And the promises broke D And the make-believe ran out Guitar Solo D Em D Em D C G D Oh Elise it doesn't matter what you say Em I just can't stay here every yesterday C Like keep on acting out the same the way we act out G D Every way to smile forget and make-believe Em We never needed any more than this C Any more than this G D And every time I try to pick it up like falling sand Em As fast as I pick it up C It runs away through my clutching hands G But there's nothing else I can really do D There's nothing else I can really do Em C There's nothing else I can really do at all
