Verse
Am D
Yesterday when I was young
G C
The taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue
Am B
I teased at life as if it were a foolish game
Em
The way the evening breeze may tease a candle flame.
[Verse 2]
Am D
The thousand dreams I dreamed, the splendid things I planned
G C
I always built, alas, on weak and shifting sand
Am B
I lived by night and shunned the naked light of day
Em
And only now I see how the years ran away
[Chorus]
C D
Yesterday, when I was young
G C
So many drinking songs were waiting to be sung
Am B
So many wayward pleasures lay in store for me
Em
And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see
C D
I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out
G C
I never stopped to think what life was all about
Am B
And every conversation I can now recall
Em
Concerned itself with me, and nothing else at all.
[Verse 3]
Am D
Yesterday the moon was blue
G C
And every crazy day brought something new to do
Am B
I used my magic age as if it were a wand
Em
And never saw the waste and emptiness beyond.
[Verse 4]
Em Am D
The game of love I played with arrogance and pride
G C
And every flame I lit too quickly, quickly died.
Am B
The friends I made all seemed somehow to drift away
Em
And only I am left on stage to end the play.
[Verse 5]
C D
There are so many songs in me that won't be sung
G C
I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue
Am B
The time has come for me to pay for yesterday
Em
When I was...young
[Interlude]
C D G C
Am B Em
[Chorus]
C D
Yesterday, when I was young
G C
So many drinking songs were waiting to be sung
Am B
So many wayward pleasures lay in store for me
Em
And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see
C D
I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out
G C
I never stopped to think what life was all about
Am B
And every conversation I can now recall
Em
Concerned itself with me, and nothing else at all.
[Verse 6]
C D
There are so many songs in me that won't be sung
G C
I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue
Am B
The time has come for me to pay for yesterday
Em
When I was...young
[Outro]

La La La La, La La La La
Am B
La La La La, La La La La
