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