Yesterday, [Dm] when I [G] was young
The taste of [C] life was sweet like rain [F] upon my tongue
I [B] teased at life as if it were a [E] foolish game
The way an [Am] evening breeze would tease a [A] candle flame
The thousand [Dm] dreams I dreamed, the splendid [G] things I planned
I [C] always built to last [Em] on weekend [F]-shifting sand
I lived by [C] night and shunned the [Em] naked light of day
[E] And only [A] now I see [Am] how the years have run [A] away
Yesterday, [Dm] [G] there were so many songs that [C] waited to be [A] sung
So [C] many [F] wild pleasures that lay in [B] store for me
And so much [E] pain my [Am] dazzled eyes [A] refused to see
I ran so [Dm] fast that time, and youth [G] at last ran out
And I never [C] stopped to think what life [F] was all about
And [B] every conversation that I [E] can recall
Concerned [Am] itself with me and nothing [A] else at all
Yesterday, [Dm] [G]
[Em] brought something [A] new to do
Used my [Dm] magic age as if it [Em] were a war
[E] Never saw [Am] the waste and emptiness [A] beyond
The game of [Dm] love I played with arrogance [G] and pride
And [C] every flame I lit so [F] quickly, quickly [C] died
The friends [B] I made all seemed somehow to [E] drift away
And only [Am] I am left on stage to [A] ever play
Yesterday, [Dm] [G]
[Em] there were so many songs that waited [A] to be sung
So many [Dm] wild pleasures lay in store [E] for me
And so much [Am] pain my dazzled eyes refused to see
There are so [Dm] many songs in me that [G] won't be sung
As I [C] feel the bitter taste of tears [F] upon my tongue
And the [B] time has come for me to [E] pay for yesterday
When [Am] I was [A]
[Dm] yesterday
When I [G] was young
There were [Em] so many songs that waited [A] to be sung
So many [Dm] wild pleasures lay in [E] store for me
And so much [Am] pain my dazzled eyes [A] refused to see
[Dm] Yesterday, there [D] [G]
[Em] were so many songs that [A] waited to be sung
So many [Dm] wild pleasures lay in [E] store for me
And so much [Am] pain my dazzled eyes [A] refused to see
Yesterday, [Dm] [Gm] when I was young
[Dm] There were [Em] so many songs that waited [A] to be sung
So many wild [Dm] pleasures lay in [Em] store for me
