[Verse 1]
F F7 A#
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
A#/D C/E F F7 A#
He packed his things, walked out the door and drove away
[Chorus]
F/A Gm7 F C7 F C7
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 Gm7 F C7 F
And she became the girl from yesterday
[Verse 3]
C/E Dm7 C
She doesn't know what's right
A# F
She doesn't know what's wrong
A# C/E Dm7 F/C A# C7
She only knows the pain that comes from waiting for so long
A# F
And she doesn't count the teardrops
A# F
That she's cried while he's away
Dm C A# F/A
Because she knows deep in her heart
Gm7 C7sus D7 Dm7 C/E
That he'll be back someday

The light's on in the window; she's waiting by the phone

Talking to a memory that's never coming home
