    Only Yesterday

Eb                          Fm7/Eb 
After long enough of being alone 
Bb/Eb                             Eb           Bb/D   Cm7 
Everyone must face their share of loneliness 
          F7/A        Bb 
In my own time nobody knew 
    Gm               Ab 
The pain I was goin' through 
    Fm7                Bb4         Bb    Bb7 
And waitin' was all my heart could do 
Eb                           F7/Eb 
Hope was all I had until you came 
Fm6/Eb                           Eb4     Eb   Bb/D   Cm7 
Maybe you can't see how much you mean to me 
             F7/A              Bb 
You were the dawn breaking the night 
    Gm                 Ab 
The promise of morning light 
F                   Bb4 
Filing the world surrounding me 
 
Refr?o: 
Bb     Cm   Bb  Db 
When I hold you Baby, Baby 
                 Fm 
Feels like maybe things will be all right 
Db 
Baby, Baby, your love's made me 
Bb4            Bb7 
Free as a song singin' forever 
Eb                        Fm7 
Only yesterday when I was sad 
          Bb7 
And I was lonely 
Eb                                 Fm7 
You showed me the way to leave the past 
            Bb7              G 
And all its tears behind me 
                     Cm                 C7/4   C7 
Tomorrow may be even brighter than today 
      Fm7        Bb7      Ab/Eb 
Since I threw my sadness away 
           Eb 
Only yesterday 
Eb                                F7/Eb 
I have found my home here in your arms 
Fm6/Eb                           Eb4    Eb   Bb/D   Cm7 
Nowhere else on earth I'd really rather be 
               F7/A             Bb 
Life waits for us share it with me 
    Gm               Ab 
The best is about to be 
F                   Bb4 
So much is left for us to see 
 
Refr?o

E                         F#m7 
Only yesterday when I was sad 
          B7 
And I was lonely 
E                                  F#m7 
You showed me the way to elave the past 
            B7               G# 
And all its tears behind me 
                     C#m                C#7/4   C#7 
Tomorrow may be even brighter than today 
      F#m7       B7       A/E 
Since I threw my sadness away 
     B     E 
Only yesterday
