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
