Blink-182 - A letter to elise

Oh E^Alise it doesn't matter what you ^E/G#say I just can't stay here every ^F#myesterday Like keep on acting ^Dout the same the way we act out ^AEvery way to smile Forget ^E/G#And make believe we never needed ^F#mAny more than this ^DAny more than this

Oh E^Alise it doesn't matter what you ^E/G#do I know I'll never really ^F#mget inside of you To make your ^Deyes catch fire the way they should The ^Away the blue could pull me in If they ^E/G#only would, If they only would At ^F#mleast I'd lose this sense of sensing ^Dsomething else that hides away But ^Ayou and me, there're worlds to part With ^E/G#aching looks and breaking hearts And ^F#mall your prayers hands can make And^D Oh I just take as much as you can throw ^A And then throw it all a^E/G#way Oh I throw it all a^F#mway Like throwing faces ^Dat the sky, like throwing arms around
