Intro
A E/G# F#m7 E B7 E B7
[Verse 1]
E E7 A
It wasn't really sad the way they said good-bye
B E B
Or maybe it just hurt so bad she couldn't cry
A/C# B/D# E E7 A
He packed his things, walked out the door and drove away
[Chorus]
E/G# F#m7 E B7 E B7
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]
E/G# F#m7 E B7 E
And she became the girl from yesterday
[Verse 3]
B/D# C#m7 B
She doesn't know what's right
A E
She doesn't know what's wrong
A B/D# C#m7 E/B A B7
She only knows the pain that comes from waiting for so long
A E
And she doesn't count the teardrops
A E
That she's cried while he's away
C#m B A E/G#
Because she knows deep in her heart
F#m7 B7sus D7 C#m7 B/D#
That he'll be back someday
[Solo]
E E7 A A E/G# F#m7
E B7 E C# B/D# C#/F
F# F#7 B
The light's on in the window; she's waiting by the phone
C#7 F# C#7 D#m7 C#/F
Talking to a memory that's never coming home
F# F#7 B
She dreams of his returning and the things that he might say
[Outro]
F#/A# G#m7 F# C#7 F# G#m7 F#/A# B
But she'll always be the girl from yesterday
F#/A# G#m7 F# C#7 B F#/A# G#m7 F#
Yeah she'll always be the girl from yesterday
