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