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