Yesterday When I Was Young Chords by Dusty Springfield

[Em] _ _ _ [F] _ [G] _ _ [A] _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ [Am] _ Somehow, it seems the love I [Cm] knew was [F] always the most [Am] destructive kind.
_ [Em] _
_ _ [Ab] [F] Yesterday, _ when [G] I was young, [B] [C] the taste of [Em] life was sweet as rain [F] upon my tongue.
I teased at [Dm] life as if it were [E] a foolish game.
The way the [Am] evening breeze may tease a candle flame.
The [Bm] thousand [Dm] dreams I dream, the splendid things [G] I plan.
I always built [C] to last on weak and shifting [F] sand.
I live by night [B] and shun the naked light of [E] day.
And only now I [Am] see how the time ran away.
[F] Yesterday, _ when _ [B] _ so many [G] of the songs were waiting [F] to be sung.
So many [B] wild pleasures lay in store for [E] me.
And so [Am] much pain my eyes refused to see.
I ran [F] so fast that time and youth and life [G] _ _ never [Em] stopped to think.
What life was [Am] all of _ every [B] conversation that I can now [E] recall concerned itself [Am] with me and nothing else at all.
The game of love I [F] play with arrogance [G] and pride.
And every [C] flame I [G] lit to quickly, [F] quickly die.
The [B] friends I made all somehow seemed [E] to slip away.
And only [Am] now I'm left alone playing the blame.
_ [Dm] _
Waiting _ [G] _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ [Am] to be sung.
So many [B]
pleasures lay in store [E] for _ me.
And so much pain [Am]
my eyes refused to see.
There are so [Dm] many songs in me.
There [G] won't be sung.
I feel [C] a bitter taste of tears upon [F] my tongue.
The time [B] has come for me to pay for [E] yesterday. _ _
When I [Am] was young.
