[Gm] _ Yesterday, when I [C] was young, the taste [F] of life was sweet, like rain upon [Bb] my tongue.
I teased at [Gm] life as if it were a [A] foolish 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 [F] always built to last on [Bb] weekend shifting sand.
I lived by [Gm] night and shunned the naked [A] light of day,
and only now [Dm] I see how the years have run away.
_ _ [Bb] Yesterday, when I [C] was 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 [Dm] pain my dazzled eyes [Am] refused [Dm] to see.
I ran so [Bb] fast to 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.

_ Yesterday, [Gm] _ _ the moon [C] was blue, 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.
The 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.
_ Yesterday, [Bb] _ when I [C] was young, there were so [F] 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 bitter [F] taste of tears upon [Bb] my tongue,
and the time has come [Gm] for me to pay for [A] yesterday when I [D] was young. _ _ _
