A Letter To Elise Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][D][Em][C]
[G][D][Em][C]
[G][D][Em][C]

[Verse 1]
Oh E[G]lise it doesn't matter what you [D]say
I just can't stay here every [Em]yesterday
Like keep on acting [C]out the same
The way we act out
[G]Every way to smile, forget
And [D]make-believe we never needed
[Em]Any more than this
[C]Any more than this

[Interlude 1]
[G][D][Em][C]
[G][D][Em][C]

[Verse 2]
Oh E[G]lise it doesn't matter what you [D]do
I know I'll never really [Em]get inside of you
To make your [C]eyes catch fire
The way they should
The [G]way the blue could pull me in
If they [D]only would, if they only would
At [Em]least I'd lose this sense of sensing
[C]Something else that hides away
From [G]me and you, there're worlds to part
With [D]aching looks and breaking hearts
And [Em]all the prayers your hands can make
Oh [C]I just take as much as you can throw
[G]And then throw it all away[D]
Oh I throw it all a[Em]way
Like throwing faces [C]at the sky

[Bridge 1]
Like throwing arms round
[D]Yesterday, I stood and stared
Wide-[Em]eyed in front of you
And the [D]face I saw looked back
The way I [Em]wanted to
But I [D]just can't hold my tears away
The [Em]way you do
E[F]lise believe I never [Em]wanted this
I [F]thought this time I'd keep all of my [Em]promises
I [F]thought you were the girl
I always [Em]dreamed about
But I [F]let the dream go
And the [Em]promises broke

[Solo 1]
And the make-believe ran out
[D][Em][D][Em]
[D][Em][D][C]
[G][D][Em][C]
[G][D][Em][C]
[G][D][Em][C]

[Verse 3]
So E[G]lise it doesn't matter what you [D]say
I just can't stay here every [Em]yesterday
Like keep on acting [C]out the same
The way we act out
[G]Every way to smile, forget
And [D]make-believe we never needed
[Em]Any more than this
[C]Any more than this

[Verse 4]
And [G]every time I try to pick it [D]up
Like falling sand
As [Em]fast as I pick it up
It runs a[C]way through my clutching hands
But there's [G]nothing else I can really do
There's [D]nothing else I can really do
There's [Em]nothing else I can really do
At [C]all
