Intro
F# C#/F D#m7 C# G#7 C# G#7
[Verse 1]
C# C#7 F#
It wasn't really sad the way they said good-bye
G# C# G#
Or maybe it just hurt so bad she couldn't cry
F#/A# G#/C C# C#7 F#
He packed his things, walked out the door and drove away
[Chorus]
C#/F D#m7 C# G#7 C# G#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]
C#/F D#m7 C# G#7 C#
And she became the girl from yesterday
[Verse 3]
G#/C A#m7 G#
She doesn't know what's right
F# C#
She doesn't know what's wrong
F# G#/C A#m7 C#/G# F# G#7
She only knows the pain that comes from waiting for so long
F# C#
And she doesn't count the teardrops
F# C#
That she's cried while he's away
A#m G# F# C#/F
Because she knows deep in her heart
D#m7 G#7sus D7 A#m7 G#/C
That he'll be back someday
[Solo]
C# C#7 F# F# C#/F D#m7
C# G#7 C# A# G#/C A#/D
D# D#7 G#
The light's on in the window; she's waiting by the phone
A#7 D# A#7 Cm7 A#/D
Talking to a memory that's never coming home
D# D#7 G#
She dreams of his returning and the things that he might say
[Outro]
D#/G Fm7 D# A#7 D# Fm7 D#/G G#
But she'll always be the girl from yesterday
D#/G Fm7 D# A#7 G# D#/G Fm7 D#
Yeah she'll always be the girl from yesterday
