Intro 3x: A augmentedA E MajorE 
F# minorF#m D MajorD
A augmentedA E MajorE
Oh Elise it doesn't matter what you say
F# minorF#m
I just can't stay here every yesterday
D MajorD
Like keep on acting out the same the way we act out
A augmentedA E MajorE
Every way to smile, forget, and make-believe we never needed
F# minorF#m D MajorD
Any more than this, any more than this
(A augmentedA E MajorE F# minorF#m D MajorD) (2x)
A augmentedA E MajorE
Oh Elise it doesn't matter what you do
F# minorF#m
I know I'll never really get inside of you
D MajorD
To make your eyes catch fire the way they should
A augmentedA E MajorE
The way the blue could pull me in, If they only would, if they only would
F# minorF#m D MajorD
At least I'd lose this sense of sensing something else
That hides away
A augmentedA
From me and you there're worlds to part
E MajorE
With aching looks and breaking hearts
F# minorF#m
And all the prayers your hands can make
D MajorD A augmentedA
Oh I just take as much as you can throw
E MajorE
And then throw it all away
F# minorF#m
Oh I throw it all away
D MajorD
Like throwing faces at the sky
E MajorE
Like throwing arms round yesterday I stood and stared
F# minorF#m
Wide-eyed in front of you
E MajorE
And the face I saw looked back
F# minorF#m
The way I wanted to
E MajorE F# minorF#m
But I just can't hold my tears away the way you do
G+G F# minorF#m
Elise believe I never wanted this
G+G F# minorF#m
I thought this time I'd keep all of my promises
G+G F# minorF#m
I thought you were the girl always dreamed about
G+G F# minorF#m
But I let the dream go, and the promises broke
And the make-believe ran out...
Solo: E MajorE F# minorF#m 3x
E MajorE D MajorD
A augmentedA E MajorE F# minorF#m D MajorD 3x
A augmentedA E MajorE
Oh elise it doesn't matter what you say
F# minorF#m
I just can't stay here every yesterday
D MajorD
Like keep on acting out the same
The way we act out
A augmentedA
Every way to smile, forget,
E MajorE
And make-believe we never needed
F# minorF#m
Any more than this
D MajorD
Any more than this
A augmentedA E MajorE
And every time I try to pick it up
Like falling sand
F# minorF#m
As fast as I pick it up
D MajorD
It runs away through my clutching hands
A augmentedA
But there's nothing else I can really do
E MajorE
There's nothing else I can really do
F# minorF#m
There's nothing else
D MajorD
I can really do at all...
