Intro
F C/E Dm7 C G7 C G7
[Verse 1]
C C7 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/B C C7 F
He packed his things, walked out the door and drove away
[Chorus]
C/E Dm7 C G7 C G7
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/E Dm7 C G7 C
And she became the girl from yesterday
[Verse 3]
G/B Am7 G
She doesn't know what's right
F C
She doesn't know what's wrong
F G/B Am7 C/G F G7
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
Am G F C/E
Because she knows deep in her heart
Dm7 G7sus D7 Am7 G/B
That he'll be back someday
[Solo]
C C7 F F C/E Dm7
C G7 C A G/B A/C#
D D7 G
The light's on in the window; she's waiting by the phone
A7 D A7 Bm7 A/C#
Talking to a memory that's never coming home
D D7 G
She dreams of his returning and the things that he might say
[Outro]
D/F# Em7 D A7 D Em7 D/F# G
But she'll always be the girl from yesterday
D/F# Em7 D A7 G D/F# Em7 D
Yeah she'll always be the girl from yesterday
