A Letter to Elise  The Cure

 
 -----------------

oh el[A]ise it doesn't matter what you s[E]ay
I just can't stay here every [Bm]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
[Bm]any more than this
[D]any more than this
oh e[A]lise it doesn't matter what you [E]do
I know i'll never really [Bm]get inside of you
to make your [D]eyes catch fire
the way they should
[A]the way the blue could pull me in
if they [E]only would
if they only would
at [Bm]least I'd lose this sense of sensing somet[D]hing else
that hides away
[A]from me and you
there're worlds to part
with [E]aching looks and breaking hearts
and [Bm]all the prayers your hands can make
oh [D]I just take as much as you can throw
[A]and then I throw it all away
[E]oh I throw it all away
[Bm]like throwing faces at the sky
like [D]throwing arms around
[E]yesterday
I stood and stared
wide-[F#m]eyed in front of you
and [E]the 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
el[G]ise believe I never [F#m]wanted this
I [G]thought this time I'd keep all of my p[F#m]romises
I [G]thought you were the girl always [F#m]dreamed about
but I [Bm]let the dream go
and the [D]promises broke
and the make-believe ran [A]out...
so e[A]lise
it doesn't matter what you [E]say
I just can't stay here every [Bm]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
[Bm]any more than this
[D]any more than this
and [A]every time I try to pick it [E]up
like falling sand
[Bm]as fast as I pick it up
it runs a[D]way through my clutching hands
and there's [A]nothing else I can really do
[E]there's nothing else I can really do
[Bm]there's nothing else I can really do
at [D]all...

VERSE A//// E/// F#M/// D///
OH, ELISE IT DOESNT MATTER WHAT YOU SAY
JUST CANT STAY HERE EVERY YESTERDAY
KEEP ON ACTING, ACTING OUT THE SAMR WE ACT OUT
YESTERDAY TO SMILE FORGET
AND MAKE BELIEVE WE NEVER NEEDED ANY MORE THAN THIS
ANYMORE THAN THIS.
OH,ELISE IT DOESNT MATTER WHAT YOU SAY
I KNOW ILL NEVER REALLY GET INSIDE OF YOU
TO MAKE YOUR EYES CATCH FIRE THE WAY THEY SHOULD.
IF THE BLUE COULD PULL ME IN IF THEY ONLY COULD
IF THEY ONLY WOULD
PERHAPS ID LOSE THIS SENSE OF SENSING SOMETHING ELSE THAT HIDES AWAY
FROM ME TO YOU THEY'RE WORLD'S APART
WITH ACHING LIPS AND BREAKING HEARTS
AND ALL THE PRYERS YOUR HANDS CAN MAKE
OH I JUST TAKE AS MUCH AS YOU CAN THROW THEN GIVE IT ALL AWAY
OH I GIVE IT ALL AWAY
LIKE THROWING HALOS AT THE SKY
OH YESTERDAY I STOOD AND STARED WIDED EYED IN FRONT OF YOU
AND THE FACE I SAW LOOKED BACK THE WAY I WANTED TO
BUT I JUST CANT HOLD BACK MY TEARS THE WAY YOU DO
ELISE BELIEVE I NEVER WANTED THIS
I THOUGHT THIS TIME I'D KEEP ALL OF MY PROMISES
I THOUGHT YOU WERE THE GIRL I ALWAYS DREAMED ABOUT
BUT I LET THE DREAM GO
AND THE PROMISES WERE THE MAKE BELIEVE THAT I........

THERES NOTHING MORE I CAN REALLY SAY
THERE'S NOTHING MORE I CAN REALLY DO AT ALL.
