Chords for YESTERDAY WHEN I WAS YOUNG - (Lyrics)

_ Yesterday, _ _ when I was [C] young, the taste of life [F] was sweet, like rain upon my [Bb] 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.
A thousand [Gm] dreams I dreamed, the splendid [C] things I planned.
I always built to last, on weekend shift [Bb] in 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.
Yesterday, [Bb] _ when I [C] was young, there were so [F] many songs that waited to [Bb] be sung.
So many [Gm] world closures that lay in [A] store for me.
And so much [Dm] pain my dazzled eyes refused to see.
I ran so [Bb] fast, 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] world pleasures lay in store [A] for me.
And so much [Dm] pain my dazzled eyes refused to see.
There are so many [Bb] songs in me that won't [C] be sung.
Cause I feel the [F] bitter taste of tears upon [Bb] my tongue.
And the time has [Gm] come for me to pay for [A] yesterday.
