The Cure Song: A Letter to Elise Transcribe by: Paul N This one of my most favorite songs and I hope you enjoy A E oh elise it doesn't matter what you say Bm I just can't stay here every yesterday D like keep on acting out the same the way we act out A every way to smile forget E and make-believe we never needed Bm any more than this D any more than this A E oh elise it doesn't matter what you do Bm I know i'll never really get inside of you D to make your eyes catch fire the way they should A the way the blue could pull me in E if they only would if they only would Bm D at least I'd lose this sense of sensing something else that hides away A from me and you there're worlds to part E with aching looks and breaking hearts Bm and all the prayers your hands can make D oh 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 D like throwing arms around E yesterday I stood and stared F#m wide-eyed in front of you E and the face I saw looked back F#m the way I wanted to E but I just can't hold my tears away F#m the way you do G F#m elise believe I never wanted this G F#m I thought this time I'd keep all of my promises G F#m I thought you were the girl always dreamed about Bm but I let the dream go D and the promises broke A and the make-believe ran out... A so elise E it doesn't matter what you say Bm I just can't stay here every yesterday D like keep on acting out the same the way we act out A every way to smile forget E and make-believe we never needed Bm any more than this D any more than this A E and every time I try to pick it up like falling sand Bm as fast as I pick it up D it runs away through my clutching hands A and there's nothing else I can really do E there's nothing else I can really do Bm there's nothing else I can really do D at all...
