A Letter to Elise The Cure
Intro: A, E, F#m, D
Oh [A]Elise it doesn't matter what you [E]say I just can't stay here every
[F#m]yesterday like keep on acting [D]out 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 [D]any more than this
Oh [A]Elise it doesn't matter what you [E]do I know I'll never really
[F#m]get inside of you to make your [D]eyes catch fire the way they should
The [A]way the blue could pull me in if [E]they only would if they only would at
[F#m]least I'd lose this sense of sensing [D]something else that hides away
[A] [E]
[F#m]all the prayers your hands can make oh [D]I just take as much as you can throw
[A] And then throw it all away [E] Oh I throw it all away
[F#m] Like throwing faces [D]at the sky like throwing arms round
[E]Yesterday I stood and stared wide-[F#m]eyed in front of you and the
[E]face I saw looked back the way I [F#m]wanted to but I
[E]just can't hold my tears away the [F#m]way you do
E[G]lise believe I never [F#m]wanted this
I [G]thought this time I'd keep all of my [F#m]promises
I [G]thought you were the girl I always [F#m]dreamed about
But I [G]let the dream go and the [F#m]promises broke
And the make-believe ran out...
E, F#m, E, F#m, E, F#m, E, D, A, E, F#m, D, A, E, F#m, D, A, E, F#m, D
So [A]Elise it doesn't matter what you [E]say I just can't stay here every
[F#m]yesterday like keep on acting [D]out 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 [D]any more than this
And [A]every time I try to pick it [E]up like falling sand
As [F#m]fast as I pick it up it runs [D]away through my clutching hands
But there's [A]nothing else I can really do [E]there's nothing else I can really do
[F#m]There's nothing else I can really do at [D]all...
