Yesterday, when I [C] was young, the taste of [F] life was sweet, like rain upon my [Bb] tongue.
I [Gm] teased at life as if it were a foolish [A] game.
The way an [Dm] evening breeze would tease a candle flame.
The thousand [Gm] dreams I dreamed, the splendid [C] things I planned,
I always [F] built to last on [Bb] weekend shifting sand.
I lived [Gm] by night and shunned the [A] naked light of day,
and only now [Dm] I see how the years have run away. _
[Bb] Yesterday, when I was [C] young, there were so [F] many songs that waited to [Bb] be sung.
So many [Gm] wild pleasures that lay in [A] store for me,
and so much [F] pain my dazzled [Dm] eyes refused to see.
I ran so [Bb] fast, time and youth at [C] last ran out.
I never [F] stopped to think what life [Bb] was all about,
and every [Gm] conversation that I [A] can recall,
concerned [Dm] itself with me and nothing else at all.

_ [Gm] Yesterday, the moon [C] was blue, [Gm]
and every [F] crazy day brought something [Bb] new to do.
And I used [Gm] my magic age as if it [A] were a wand,
and never saw the [Dm] waste and emptiness beyond.
A game of [Gm] love I played with arrogance [C] and pride,
and every [F] flame I lit so quickly, [Bb] quickly died.
The friends I [Gm] made all seemed somehow to [A] drift away,
and only [Dm] I am left on stage to end the play. _ _
_ [Bb] Yesterday, when I [C] was young, there were so [Am] many songs that waited to [Bb] be sung.
So many [Gm] wild pleasures lay in store [A] for me,
and so much [Am] pain my dazzled [Dm] eyes [Am] refused [Dm] to see.
There are so many [Bb] songs in me that won't [C] be sung,
cause I feel the [F] bitter taste of tears upon [Bb] my tongue.
And the time has [Gm] come for me to pay for [A] yesterday,
when I_
