Yesterday When I Was Young Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

 YesterDm7day, when I was G7young,

 the taste of life was Cm7sweet, as rain upon my Fm7tongue,

 I teased at life, as Fmif it were a foolish E7game,

 the way the evening Ambreeze may Etease a candle A7flame.

 The thousand dreams I Dm7dreamed, the splendid things I G7planned,

 I always built, Cm7alas, on weak and shifting Fm7sand,

 I lived by night, and Fmshunned the naked light of E7day,

 and only now, I Amsee, how the Eyears ran A7away.

 YesterDm7day, when I was G7young,

 so many happy Cm7songs were waiting to be Fm7sung,

 so many wayward Dm7pleasures lay in store for E7me,

 and so much pain, my Amdazzled eyes Erefused to A7see.

 I ran so fast that Dm7time, and youth at last ran G7out,

 I never stopped to Cm7think, what life, was all Fm7about,

 and every converDm7sation, I can now reE7call,

 concerned itself with Amme, and Enothing else at A7all.

 YesterDm7day, the moon was G7blue,

 and every crazy Cm7day, brought something new to Fm7do,

 I used my magic Fmage, as if it were a E7wand,

 and never saw the Amwaste, and Eemptiness beA7yond.

 The game of love I Dm7played, with arrogance and G7pride,

 And every flame I Cm7lit, too quickly, quickly Fm7died,

 the friends I made, all Fmseemed, somehow, to drift E7away,

 and only I am Amleft, on Estage, to end the A7play.

 There are so many Dm7songs in me, that won't be G7sung,

 I feel the bitter Cm7taste, of tears upon my Fm7tongue,

 the time has come for Dm7me to pay for yesterE7day..

 when I was Amyoung.Dm Am
