YesterdEmay whenAm7 I was young D7
The taste of love was Gmaj7sweet as rain upon myCmaj7 tongue;
I teased at life asB if it were a fooliB7sh game
The way the evening brEmeeze may teEm7ase a candle flaE7me.
The thousand dreams I dAm7reamed, the splendid things I plD7anned--
I always built to Gmaj7last on weak and shifting sCmaj7and;
I lived by night and Bshunned the naked lightB7 of day,
And only now I Emsee how the yEm7ears ran awE7ay.
YesterdAm7ay when I was yD7oung,
So many happy sGmaj7ongs were waiting to be Cmaj7sung,
So many wayward Ampleasures lay in store forB7 me,
And so much pain my Emdazzled eyes reEm7fused to seE7e.
I ran so fast that Am7time and youth, at last, ran oD7ut,
I never stopped to tGmaj7hink what life was all aCmaj7bout;
And ev'ry converAmsation I can now rB7ecall
Concerned itself with Emme, and Em7nothing else at aE7ll.
YesterAm7day the moon was bD7lue,
And ev'ry crazy Gmaj7day brought something new toCmaj7 do,
I used my magic Bage as if it were B7a wand,
And never saw the Emwaste and eEm7mptiness beyoE7nd.
The game of love I pAm7layed with arrogance and pD7ride,
And ev'ryGmaj7 flame ICmaj7 lit too quickly, quickly died;
The friends I made all sBeemed somehow to drifB7t away
And only I am lEmeft on stEm7age to end the plE7ay.
There are so many soAm7ngs in me that won't be sD7ung,
I feel the bitter tGaste of tears upon my tCmaj7ongue;
The time has come forAm me to Am7pay for yesterdayB7
WheCn I was yoEmung. Am Em
