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