[Verse 1]
Dmaj7/A Oh EAlise it doesn't matter what you do E6
I know I'll never really F#mget inside of you
To make your eyesDmaj7/A catch fire the way they should
The Away the blue could pull me in
If they E6only would
If they only would
At F#mleast I'd lose this sense of sensing
Dmaj7/ASomething else that hides away
From Ame and you there're worlds to part
With E6aching looks and breaking hearts
And F#mall the prayers your hands can make
Oh Dmaj7/AI just take as much as you can throw
A And then throw it all away E6
Oh I throw it all away F#m
Like throwing faces Dmaj7/Aat the sky
Like throwing arms round
[Bridge]
EYesterday, I stood and stared wideF#meyed in front of you
And the Eface I saw looked back the way I F#mwanted to
But I Ejust can't hold my tears away the wayF#m you do
EliseGsus2 believe I never wantF#med this
Gsus2Thought this time I'd keep all of my F#mpromises
Gsus2Thought you were the girl I always F#mdreamed about
But I Gsus2let the dream go
And the F#mpromises broke
The makebelieve ran out E

Dmaj7/A So EAlise it doesn't matter what you say E6
I just can't stay here every F#myesterday
Like keep on acting outDmaj7/A the same the way we act out
AEvery way to smile forget and E6makebelieve
We never needed F#many more than this
Dmaj7/AAny more than this
[Outro]
And Aevery time I try to pick it upE6 like falling sand
As F#mfast as I pick it up
It runs awayDmaj7/A through my clutching hands
But there's Anothing else I can really do
There's E6nothing else I can really do
There's F#mnothing else I can really do at all Dmaj7/A
