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