Blink 182 A Letter To Elise (The Cure Cover) MTV Icon The Cure 2004 Key: Tuning: Standard EADGBe Intro:          x2 Verse 1: Oh Elise it doesn’t   matter what you say I just can’t stay   here every yesterday Like keep on   acting out the same The way we act out Every way to smile Forget And make believe   we never needed Any more than this Any more than this Interlude:           Verse 2: Oh Elise it doesn’t   matter what you do I know I’ll never   really get inside of you To make your eyes catch fire The way they should The way the blue could pull me in If they only would If they only would At least I’d lose this   sense of sensing   something else That hides away But you and me There’re worlds to part With aching looks and breaking hearts And all your prayers hands can make And Oh I just take as much   as you can throw   And then throw it all away Oh I throw it all away Like throwing faces at the sky Like throwing arms around Yesterday I stood and stared Wide eyed in front of you And the face I saw looked back The way I wanted to But I just can’t hold my tears away The way you do Elise believe I never wanted this I thought this time I’d   keep all of my promises I thought you were the girl I always dreamed about But I let the dream go And the promises broke And the make believe ran out Interlude:      x2           Silence:           Distortion:           (Repeat Verse 1) Outro: And every time I try   to pick it up Like falling sand As fast as I pick it up It runs away through   my clutching hands But there’s nothing   else I can really do There’s nothing else   I can really do There’s nothing else                    (hold) I can really do At all
