Intro
C# G#/C A#m7 G# D#7 G# D#7
[Verse 1]
G# G#7 C#
It wasn't really sad the way they said good-bye
D# G# D#
Or maybe it just hurt so bad she couldn't cry
C#/F D#/G G# G#7 C#
He packed his things, walked out the door and drove away
[Chorus]
G#/C A#m7 G# D#7 G# D#7
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]
G#/C A#m7 G# D#7 G#
And she became the girl from yesterday
[Verse 3]
D#/G Fm7 D#
She doesn't know what's right
C# G#
She doesn't know what's wrong
C# D#/G Fm7 G#/D# C# D#7
She only knows the pain that comes from waiting for so long
C# G#
And she doesn't count the teardrops
C# G#
That she's cried while he's away
Fm D# C# G#/C
Because she knows deep in her heart
A#m7 D#7sus D7 Fm7 D#/G
That he'll be back someday
[Solo]
G# G#7 C# C# G#/C A#m7
G# D#7 G# F D#/G F/A
A# A#7 D#
The light's on in the window; she's waiting by the phone
F7 A# F7 Gm7 F/A
Talking to a memory that's never coming home
A# A#7 D#
She dreams of his returning and the things that he might say
[Outro]
A#/D Cm7 A# F7 A# Cm7 A#/D D#
But she'll always be the girl from yesterday
A#/D Cm7 A# F7 D# A#/D Cm7 A#
Yeah she'll always be the girl from yesterday
