The Cure A Letter to Elise

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