G D/F# Em7 D A7 D A7
[Verse 1]
D D7 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/B A/C# D D7 G
He packed his things, walked out the door and drove away
[Chorus]
D/F# Em7 D A7 D A7
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/F# Em7 D A7 D
And she became the girl from yesterday
[Verse 3]
A/C# Bm7 A
She doesn't know what's right
G D
She doesn't know what's wrong
G A/C# Bm7 D/A G A7
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
Bm A G D/F#
Because she knows deep in her heart
Em7 A7sus D7 Bm7 A/C#
That he'll be back someday
[Solo]

E E7 A
The light's on in the window; she's waiting by the phone
B7 E B7 C#m7 B/D#
Talking to a memory that's never coming home
E E7 A
She dreams of his returning and the things that he might say
[Outro]

But she'll always be the girl from yesterday

Yeah she'll always be the girl from yesterday
