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