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

La La La La, La La La La
E A
La La La La, La La La La
F#m G#
La La La La, La La La La
