[VERSE 1]
Yester[Gm]day, when I was [C]young
The taste of life was [F]sweet
Like rain upon my [Bb]tongue
I teased at life [Gm]as if
It were a foolish [A]game
The way an evening [Dm]breeze
would tease a candle flame
The thousand dreams I d[Gm]reamed
The splendid things I [C]planned
I always built to l[F]ast
On weak and shifting [Bb]sand
I lived by night and[Gm] shunned
The naked light of [A]day
And only now I [Dm]see
How the years have run away
[CHORUS 1]
Yesterd[Bb]ay, when I was y[C]oung
There were so many [F]songs
That waited to be [Bb]sung
so many wild [Gm]pleasures
that Lay in store for [A]me
And so much pain
My [Dm]dazzled eyes refused to see
I ran so fast that [Bb]time
And youth at last ran [C]out
And I never stopped to [F]think
What life was all a[Bb]bout
And every conv[Gm]ersation
That I can [A]recall
Concerned itself with [Dm]me
And nothing else at all
Riff [Gm] [C] [F] [Bb] [Gm] [A] [Dm]
[VERSE 2]
Yester[Gm]day, the moon was [C]blue
And every crazy d[F]ay
Brought something new to [Bb]do
And I used my magic [Gm]age
As if it were a [A]wand
And never saw the w[Dm]aste
And e[Dm]mptiness beyond
The [Dm]game of love I p[Gm]layed
With arrogance and [C]pride
And every flame I l[F]it
so quickly, quickly [Bb]died
The friends I made all [Gm]seemed
Somehow to drift a[A]way
And only I am l[Dm]eft
On stage to end the play
[CHORUS 2]
Yester[Bb]day when I was y[C]oung
There were so many [F]songs
That waited to be [Bb]sung
so many wild [Gm]pleasures
Lay in store for [A]me
And so much pain
My [Dm]dazzled eyes refused to see
There are so many [Bb]songs in me
That won't be [C]sung
cause I feel the bitter [F]taste
Of tears upon my [Bb]tongue
and The time has come for [Gm]me
To pay for yester[A]day
When I was y[Dm]oung
