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