Yesterday when I was young
                                                             G7+                                              C7+  
The taste of love was sweet as rain upon my tongue
                                                  F#m7                                              B7  
I teased at life as if it were a foolish game
                                                          Em                      B+                                 E7  
The way the evening breeze may tease a candle flame
                                                             Am7                                                                            D7  
The thousand dreams I dreamed, the splendid things I planned
                                                G7+                                                              C7+  
I always built to last on weak and shifting sand
                                                        F#m7                                                         B7  
I lived by night and shunned the naked light of day
                                        Em                            B+                    E7  
And only now I see how the years ran away
                  Am7                              D7  
Yesterday when I was young
                                     G7+                                                      C7+  
So many happy songs were waiting to be sung
                                          Am7                                                              B7  
So many wayward pleasures lay in store for me
                                                     Em                                 B+                    E7  
And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see
                                                  Am7                                                                      D7  
I ran so fast that time and youth, at last, ran out
                                                          G7+                                                      C7+  
I never stopped to think what life was all about
                                          Am7                                            B7  
And ev'ry conversation I can now recall
                                                          Em              B+                                      E7  
Concerned itself with me, and nothing else at all
                Am7                                      D7  
Yesterday the moon was blue
                                                G7+                                                                 C7+  
And ev'ry crazy day brought something new to do
                                          F#m7                                            B7  
I used my magic age as if it were a wand
                                                Em                      B+                         E7  
And never saw the waste and emptiness beyond
                                                     Am7                                                            D7  
The game of love I played with arrogance and pride
                        G7+            C7+  
And ev'ry flame I lit too quickly, quickly died
                                                                F#m7                                                    B7  
The friends I made all seemed somehow to drift away
                                        Em                 B+                                      E7  
And only I am left on stage to end the play
                                                     Am7                                                         D7  
There are so many songs in me that won't be sung
                                                        G7+                                                         C7+  
I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue
                                                                     Am7                                    B7  
The time has come for me to pay for yesterday
                        Em      Am      Em  
When I was young
