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