A Letter To Elise

The Cure

A                                   E
Oh Elise it doesn't matter what you say
Fismi
I just can't stay here every yesterday
                    D
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

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
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
A                     E
and then throw it all away
Fismi
oh I throw it all away
like throwing faces at the sky
like throwing arms round
E
yesterday
I stood and stared
Fismi
wide-eyed in front of you
         E
and the face I saw looked back
Fismi
the way I wanted to
       E
but I just can't hold my tears away
Fismi
the way you do

G                     Fismi
Elise believe I never wanted this
 G                                      Fismi
I thought this time I'd keep all of my promises
  G                                 Fismi
I thought you were the girl always dreamed about
      G
but I let the dream go
Fismi
and the promises broke
and the make-believe ran out...

SOLO: E  Fismi (3x) E  D
      A  E  Fismi  D

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
A                               E
and every time I try to pick it up

Like falling sand
Fismi
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
Fismi
theré nothing else I can really do,
    D
at all...
