A Letter to Elise
The Cure
(CAPO 2) (or not)
G D Am
Oh Elise it doesn't matter what you say 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 we never needed
Am C G D Am C
any more than this any more than this
G D Am
Oh Elise it doesn't matter what you do I know I'll never really get inside of you
C
to make your eyes catch fire the way they should
G D
The way the blue could pull me in if they only would if they only would
Am C
at least I'd lose this sense of sensing something else that hides away
G D Am
from me and you there're worlds to part with aching looks and breaking hearts
C G
and all the prayers your hands can make oh I just take as much as you can throw
D Am
and then I throw it all away oh I throw it all away like throwing faces at the sky
C
like throwing arms around
D Em
Yesterday 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
F Em F Em
Elise believe I never wanted this I thought this time I'd keep all of my promises
F Em
I thought you were the girl always dreamed about
Am C
but I let the dream go and the promises broke and the make-believe ran out...
D Em D Em x2
Am C
G D Am
So Elise it doesn't matter what you say I just can't stay here every yesterday
C G
like keep on acting out the same the way we act out every way to smile forget
D Am C
and make-believe we never needed any more than this any more than this
G D Am
And every time I try to pick it up like falling sand as fast as I pick it up
C G
it runs away through my clutching hands and there's nothing else I can really do
D Am C
there's nothing else I can really do there's nothing else I can really do at all...
