A Letter To Elise Chords & Lyrics - Aaron Sprinkle

[INTRO]
[G] [D] [Em] [C] (x2)

[VERSE 1]
Oh El[G]ise it doesn't matter what you s[D]ay
I just can't stay here every y[Em]esterday
Like keep on acting [C]out the same the way we act out
[G]Every way to smile forget and m[D]ake-believe
We never needed [Em]any more than this
[C]Any more than this

[INSTRUMENTAL]
[G] [D] [Em] [C]

[VERSE 2]
Oh El[G]ise it doesn't matter what you [D]do
I know I'll never really g[Em]et inside of you
To make your [C]eyes catch fire the way they should
[G] The way the blue could pull me in
If they [D]only would

If they only would
At l[Em]east I'd lose this sense
Of sensing s[C]omething else that hides away
[G]From 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 thr[G]ow
And then throw it all away [D]
Oh I throw it all away [Em]
Like throwing faces [C]at the sky

Like throwing arms round
[D]Yesterday
I stood and stared wide-[Em]eyed in front of you
And the f[D]ace I saw looked back the way I w[Em]anted to
But I j[D]ust can't hold my tears away the w[Em]ay you do

[BRIDGE]
Fmaj7#11 Em
Elise believe I never wanted this
Fmaj7#11 Em
I thought this time I'd keep all of my promises
Fmaj7#11 Em
I thought you were the girl I always dreamed about
Fmaj7#11
But I let the dream go
And the p[Em]romises broke
And the make-believe ran o[D]ut

[GUITAR SOLO]
[D] [Em]
[D] [Em]
[D] [C]

[VERSE 3]
Oh E[G]lise it doesn't matter what you s[D]ay
I just can't stay here every y[Em]esterday
Like keep on acting o[C]ut the same the way we act out
[G]Every way to smile forget and m[D]ake-believe
We never needed [Em]any more than this
[C]Any more than this

[VERSE 4]
[G]And every time I try to pick it [D]up like falling sand
[Em]As fast as I pick it up
It runs [C]away through my clutching hands

[OUTRO]
But there's n[G]othing else I can really do
[D]There's nothing else I can really do
There's n[Em]othing else I can really do at [C]all
