Verse 1

Oh Elise it doesn't matter what you say
Em

I just can't stay here every yesterday
C

Like keep on acting out the same

The way we act out
G

Every way to smile, forget
D

And make-believe we never needed
Em

Any more than this

D

Oh Elise it doesn't matter what you do
Em

I know I'll never really get inside of you
C

To make your eyes catch fire

The way they should
G

The way the blue could pull me in
D

If they only would, if they only would
Em

At least I'd lose this sense of sensing
C

Something else that hides away
G

From me and you, there're worlds to part
D

With aching looks and breaking hearts
Em

And all the prayers your hands can make
C

Oh I just take as much as you can throw
G
D

And then throw it all away
Em

Oh I throw it all away
C

Like throwing faces at the sky
Bridge 1

Like throwing arms round
D

Yesterday, I stood and stared
Em

Wide-eyed in front of you
D

And the face I saw looked back
Em

The way I wanted to
D

But I just can't hold my tears away
Em

The way you do
F
Em

Elise believe I never wanted this

I thought this time I'd keep all of my promises
F

I thought you were the girl
Em

I always dreamed about
F

But I let the dream go
Em

And the promises broke

And the make-believe ran out

I just can't stay here every yesterday

And make-believe we never needed

Verse 4
G
D

And every time I try to pick it up

Like falling sand
Em

As fast as I pick it up
C

It runs away through my clutching hands
G

But there's nothing else I can really do
D

There's nothing else I can really do
Em

There's nothing else I can really do
C

At all

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
