Intro
D A/C# Bm7 A E7 A E7
[Verse 1]
A A7 D
It wasn't really sad the way they said good-bye
E A E
Or maybe it just hurt so bad she couldn't cry
D/F# E/G# A A7 D
He packed his things, walked out the door and drove away
[Chorus]
A/C# Bm7 A E7 A E7
And she became the girl from yesterday
[Verse 2]
(same as verse 1)
He took a plane across the sea to some foreign land
She stayed at home and tried so hard to understand
How someone who had been so close could be so far away
[Chorus]
A/C# Bm7 A E7 A
And she became the girl from yesterday
[Verse 3]
E/G# F#m7 E
She doesn't know what's right
D A
She doesn't know what's wrong
D E/G# F#m7 A/E D E7
She only knows the pain that comes from waiting for so long
D A
And she doesn't count the teardrops
D A
That she's cried while he's away
F#m E D A/C#
Because she knows deep in her heart
Bm7 E7sus D7 F#m7 E/G#
That he'll be back someday
[Solo]
A A7 D D A/C# Bm7
A E7 A F# E/G# F#/A#
B B7 E
The light's on in the window; she's waiting by the phone
F#7 B F#7 G#m7 F#/A#
Talking to a memory that's never coming home
B B7 E
She dreams of his returning and the things that he might say
[Outro]
B/D# C#m7 B F#7 B C#m7 B/D# E
But she'll always be the girl from yesterday
B/D# C#m7 B F#7 E B/D# C#m7 B
Yeah she'll always be the girl from yesterday
