Intro: 

 

 

----------------------F#m 

It seems the love I've known...  

 

-----------B 

has always been... 

 

---------------------E (Esus4) E 

the most destructive kind.  

 

-------------------F#m 

I guess that's why now... 

 

------------G#7 

I've feel so old... 

 

-----------C#m (C#m9) C#m 

Before my time.  

 

 

---------------------------------------------- 

 

VERSE: 

 

-----------F#m---------------B 

Yes - ter - day___when I was young,  

 

---------------------Emaj7-----------------Amaj7 

the taste of life was sweet as rain up-on my tongue.  

 

-----------F#m---------------------G#7 

I teased at life as if it were a fool-ish game.  

 

----------------------C#m 

The way the eve-ning breeze may tease a can-dle flame.  

 

 

(continue progression from verse above throughout song) 

 

The thousand dreams I dreamed; the splendid things I planned. 

I always built, alas, on weak and shifting sand.  

I lived by night and shunned the naked light of day,  

and only now I see how the years ran away.  

 

 

Yesterday when I was young,  

so many drinking songs were waiting to be sung.  

So many wayward pleasures lay in store for me,  

and so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see.  

 

 

I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out.  

I never stopped to think what life was all about,  

and every conversation I can now recall,  

concerned itself with me, and nothing else at all.

*********************** 

 

Yesterday the moon was blue,  

and every crazy day brought something new to do.  

I used my magic age as if it were a wand,  

and never saw the waste and emptiness beyond.  

 

 

The game of love I played with arrogance and pride,  

and every flame I lit to quickly quickly die.  

The friends I made all seemed somehow to drift away,  

and only I am left on the stage to end the play.  

 

 

There are so many songs in me that won't be sung.  

I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue.  

The time has come for me to pay for Yesterday...  

When I Was Young.
