[Fm] [Bb]
[Eb] [G]
[Fm] Yesterday, when I [Bb] was young, the taste of life [Eb] was sweet as rain upon my [Ab] tongue.
I teased that [D] life as if it were a foolish [G] game.
The way the [Cm] evening breeze may tease a candle flame,
The thousand dreams I [Fm] dreamed, the splendid things I [Bb] planned,
I always built, [Eb] alas, on weak and shifting [Ab] sand.
I lived by light [D] and shunned the naked light of [G] day,
And only now [Cm] I see how the years ran away.
[Ab]
[Fm] Yesterday, when I [Bb] was young, so many [Eb] drinking songs were waiting to [Ab] be sung,
So many weird [Fm] pleasures lay in store for [G] me and so much pain [Cm] my dazzled eyes refused to see.
I ran so fast that [Fm] time and youth at last ran [Bb] out.
I never stopped to [Eb] think what life was all [Ab] about,
And every conversation [Fm] I can now [G] recall,
Consoled itself with [Cm] me, me and nothing else at all.
[F]
[Cm] [Fm] Yesterday, the moon was [Bb] blue, and every [Eb] crazy day brought something new to [Ab] do.
I used my [D] magic age as if it were a [G] wand,
And never saw [Cm] the waste and emptiness beyond.
The game of love I [Fm] played with arrogance and [Bb] pride,
And every flame [Eb] I lit too quickly, quickly [Ab] died.
The friends I made all [D] seemed somehow to drift [G] away,
And only I am left [Cm] on stage to end the play.
There are so many [Fm] songs in me that won't be [G] sung,
I feel the bitter [Cm] taste of tears upon [Fm] my tongue.
The time has come for me to [D] pay [Cm] for yesterday,
[G] when I [Cm] was [D] young, [G] young,
[Cm] young.
