Yesterday wAm7hen I was youngD7
The taste of love was sweet as rain upon my tongue
I teased at life asF#m7 if it were a foolish B7game
The way the evening brEmeeze may teBase a candle flE7ame
The thousand dreams I dAm7reamed, the splendid things I plD7anned
I always built to last on weak and shifting sand
I lived by night and F#m7shunned the naked light ofB7 day
And only now I Emsee how the yBears ran aE7way
YesterdAm7ay when I was yD7oung
So many happy songs were waiting to be sung
So many wayward Am7pleasures lay in store for B7me
And so much pain my Emdazzled eyes reBfused to sE7ee
I ran so fast that Am7time and youth, at last, ran oD7ut
I never stopped to think what life was all about
And ev'ry converAm7sation I can now recB7all
Concerned itself with Emme, and Bnothing else at aE7ll
YesterAm7day the moon was bD7lue
And ev'ry crazy day brought something new to do
I used my magic F#m7age as if it were a wB7and
And never saw the Emwaste and eBmptiness beyE7ond
The game of love I pAm7layed with arrogance and pD7ride
And ev'ry flame I lit too quickly, quickly died
The friends I made all sF#m7eemed somehow to drift aB7way
And only I am lEmeft on stBage to end the plE7ay
There are so many soAm7ngs in me that won't be sD7ung
I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue
The time has come for me tAm7o pay for yesterdB7ay
When I waEms youAmng. Em
