[Verse 1]
D# D#7 G#
It wasn't really sad the way they said good-bye
A# D# A#
Or maybe it just hurt so bad she couldn't cry
G#/C A#/D D# D#7 G#
He packed his things, walked out the door and drove away
[Chorus]
D#/G Fm7 D# A#7 D# A#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]
D#/G Fm7 D# A#7 D#
And she became the girl from yesterday
[Verse 3]
A#/D Cm7 A#
She doesn't know what's right
G# D#
She doesn't know what's wrong
G# A#/D Cm7 D#/A# G# A#7
She only knows the pain that comes from waiting for so long
G# D#
And she doesn't count the teardrops
G# D#
That she's cried while he's away
Cm A# G# D#/G
Because she knows deep in her heart
Fm7 A#7sus D7 Cm7 A#/D
That he'll be back someday
[Solo]

F F7 A#
The light's on in the window; she's waiting by the phone
C7 F C7 Dm7 C/E
Talking to a memory that's never coming home
F F7 A#
She dreams of his returning and the things that he might say
[Outro]
F/A Gm7 F C7 F Gm7 F/A A#
But she'll always be the girl from yesterday
F/A Gm7 F C7 A# F/A Gm7 F
Yeah she'll always be the girl from yesterday
