      Dm7             G7Yesterday, (320001@1)when I was young, 
                      CM7 (x3131x@1)                  FM7
the taste of life was sweet, as rain upon my tongue,
                     Fm (133111@1)                 E7I (020130@1)teased at life, as if it were a foolish game, 
                    Am (x02210@1)       E+             A7the (x02020@1)way the evening breeze may tease a candle flame.

                      Dm7                            G7The (320001@1)thousand dreams I dreamed, the splendid things I planned, 
                CM7 (x3131x@1)                      FM7
I always built, alas, on weak and shifting sand, 
                      Fm (133111@1)                       E7I (020130@1)lived by night, and shunned the naked light of day, 
                Am (x02210@1)         E+        A7and (x02020@1)only now, I see, how the years ran away.

      Dm7             G7Yesterday, (320001@1)when I was young, 
              CM7 (x3131x@1)                    FM7
so many happy songs were waiting to be sung, 
                Dm7                        E7so (020130@1)many wayward pleasures lay in store for me, 
                     Am (x02210@1)         E+         A7and (x02020@1)so much pain, my dazzled eyes refused to see.
                   Dm7                         G7I (320001@1)ran so fast that time, and youth at last ran out, 
                   CM7 (x3131x@1)                     FM7
I never stopped to think, what life, was all about, 
                Dm7                 E7and (020130@1)every conversation, I can now recall,
                      Am (x02210@1)    E+              A7concerned (x02020@1)itself with me, and nothing else at all.

      Dm7               G7Yesterday, (320001@1)the moon was blue, 
                CM7 (x3131x@1)                         FM7
and every crazy day, brought something new to do, 
                Fm (133111@1)                 E7I (020130@1)used my magic age, as if it were a wand, 
                  Am (x02210@1)       E+          A7and (x02020@1)never saw the waste, and emptiness beyond.
                   Dm7                        G7The (320001@1)game of love I played, with arrogance and pride,
                  CM7 (x3131x@1)                     FM7
And every flame I lit, too quickly, quickly died,
                        Fm (133111@1)                      E7the (020130@1)friends I made, all seemed, somehow, to drift away, 
              Am (x02210@1)     E+                A7and (x02020@1)only I am left, on stage, to end the play.

                  Dm7                        G7There (320001@1)are so many songs in me, that won't be sung,
                  CM7 (x3131x@1)                   FM7
I feel the bitter taste, of tears upon my tongue,
                      Dm7                 E7the (020130@1)time has come for me to pay for yesterday..
