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