Yesterday, [Dm] _ when I [G] was young, the taste [C] of life was sweet.
I'd crane [F] upon my tongue.
I [B] teased at life as if it were a [E] foolish game.
The way an [Am] evening grace 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 [C] by night and shunned [Bm] the naked light of [E] day.
And [A] only now I see [Am] how the years have run away.
[A] _
[Dm] Yesterday, _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ 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 you [G] at last ran out.
And I [C] never stopped to think what life [F] was all about.
[F]
And [B] every conversation that I [E] can recall,
concerned [Am] itself with me and nothing [A] else at all.
Yesterday, [Dm] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
[Em] a crazy day brought something [A] new to do.
[A]
I'd use my [Dm] magic age as if it [Em] were a wand.
[E] I never [Am] saw the waste and emptiness [A] beyond.
A game of [Dm] love I played with [G] arrogance and pride.
And [C] every flame I lit so [F] quickly, quickly [C] died.
The [B] friends I made all seemed somehow to [E] drift away.
[E]
And only [Am] I am left on stage to [A] ever play.
Yesterday, [Dm] many _ _ _ [G] _ _ [Am] _
_ [Em] 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 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 [B] the time has come for me to [E] pay for yesterday.
When I, [Am] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
yesterday, [Dm] _ 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.
Yesterday, [Dm] _ _ _ _ [D] so [G] _
_ [Em] many songs that [A] waited to be sung.
So many [Dm] wild pleasures lay [E] in store for me.
And so much [Am] pain my dazzled eyes [A] refused to see. _
