[Verse 1]
Am D7 Yesterday, when I was young G C The taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue Am B7 I teased at life as if it were a foolish game Em The way an evening breeze may tease a candle flame Am D The thousand dreams I dreamed, the splendid things I planned D7 G C I always built to last on weak and shifting sand Am B7 I lived by night and shunned the naked light of day Em And only now I see how the years have run away
[Verse 2]
Am D Yesterday, when I was young D7 G C So many happy songs were waiting to be sung Am B7 So many wild pleasures lay in store for me Em And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see Am D I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out D7 G Ebmaj7 I never stopped to think what life was all about Am B7 Every conversation that I can now recall Em Concerned itself with me, and nothing else at all
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
Am D Yesterday, the moon was blue D7 G C And every crazy day brought something new to do Am B7 I used my magic age as if it were a wand Em And never saw the waste and emptiness beyond Am D The game of love I played with arrogance and pride D7 G C And every flame I lit too quickly, quickly died Am B7 The friends I made all seemed, somehow, to drift away Em And only I am left on stage to end the play Am D There are so many songs in me that won't be sung D7 G C I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue Am B7 The time has come for me to pay for yesterday Em When I was young
