C                           G7
Yesterday's tears are still falling

G7                           C
Yesterday's dreams are still broken

C                         G7
Yesterday's love is still living

  G7                      C
A love that will never be spoken

[Verse 2]

C                        G7
I've tried so hard to forget, dear

G7                      C
Tried not to spoil everything

C                       G7
You are the one who has given

    G7                            C
But all you've received, dear, is pain

[Verse 3]

C                       G7
My life has been such a sorrow

G7                         C
My world has crumbled like clay

C                        G7
My heart has slowly been dying

      G7                       C
Since you told me goodbye that day

[Guitar Solo] C G7 G7 C C G7 G7 C [Verse 4]

C                          G7
Long weary years, you have suffered

G7                       C
To keep from hurting someone

C                 G7
If only I could repay you

    G7                            C
For all of the kind things you've done

[Verse 5]

C                        G7
You have inspired me, my darling

Everything to you, I owe

All I can say is I love you

So much more than anyone knows

So yesterday's tears are still falling

Yesterday's dreams are still broken

A love that will never be spoken
