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