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