  [A]Oh Elise it doesn't matter what you s[E]ay

  I just can't stay here every yes[F#m]terday

  Like keep on acting o[D]ut the same the way we act out

  [A]Every way to smile, forget, and [E]make-believe we never needed

  [F#m]Any more than this, a[D]ny more than this

  

  Oh Elise it doesn't matter what you do

  I know I'll never really get inside of you

  To make your eyes catch fire the way they should

  The way the blue could pull me in

  If they only would, if they only would

  At least I'd lose this sense of sensing something else

  That hides away

  

  From me and you

  There're worlds to part

  With aching looks and breaking hearts

  And all the prayers your hands can make

  Oh I just take as much as you can throw

  And then throw it all away

  Oh I throw it all away

  Like throwing faces at the sky

                                          

  Like throwing arms round yes[E]terday I stood and stared

  Wid[F#m]e-eyed in front of you

  And the [E]face I saw looked back

  The way I [F#m]wanted to

  But I j[E]ust can't hold my tears away t[F#m]he way you do

  

  El[G]ise believe I never wa[F#m]nted this

  I thought this time I'd keep all of my promises

  I thought you were the girl always dreamed about

  But I let the dream go, and the promises broke

  And the make-believe ran out...

  

  Oh elise it doesn't matter what you say

  I just can't stay here every yesterday

  Like keep on acting out the same

  The way we act out

  Every way to smile, forget,

  And make-believe we never needed

  Any more than this

  Any more than this

  

  And every time I try to pick it up

  Like falling sand

  As fast as I pick it up

  It runs away through my clutching hands

  But there's nothing else I can really do

  There's nothing else

  I can really do at all...
