Yesterday, when I was young,  
                      Cm7                    Fm7 
the taste of life was sweet, as rain upon my tongue, 
                     Fm                   E7 
I teased at life, as if it were a foolish game,  
                    Am         E             A7 
the way the evening breeze may tease a candle flame.

                      Dm7                            G7 
The thousand dreams I dreamed, the splendid things I planned,  
                Cm7                        Fm7 
I always built, alas, on weak and shifting sand,  
                      Fm                         E7 
I lived by night, and shunned the naked light of day,  
                Am           E        A7 
and only now, I see, how the years ran away.

      Dm7             G7 
Yesterday, when I was young,  
              Cm7                      Fm7
so many happy songs were waiting to be sung,  
                Dm7                        E7 
so many wayward pleasures lay in store for me,  
                     Am           E         A7 
and so much pain, my dazzled eyes refused to see. 
                   Dm7                         G7 
I ran so fast that time, and youth at last ran out,  
                   Cm7                       FM7 
I never stopped to think, what life, was all about,  
                Dm7                 E7 
and every conversation, I can now recall, 
                      Am      E              A7 
concerned itself with me, and nothing else at all.

      Dm7               G7 
Yesterday, the moon was blue,  
                Cm7                           Fm7 
and every crazy day, brought something new to do,  
                Fm                   E7 
I used my magic age, as if it were a wand,  
                  Am         E+          A7 
and never saw the waste, and emptiness beyond. 
                   Dm7                        G7 
The game of love I played, with arrogance and pride, 
                  Cm7                       FM7 
And every flame I lit, too quickly, quickly died, 
                        Fm                        E7 
the friends I made, all seemed, somehow, to drift away,  
              Am       E+                A7 
and only I am left, on stage, to end the play. 

#5. 
                  Dm7                        G7 
There are so many songs in me, that won't be sung, 
                  Cm7                     FM7 
I feel the bitter taste, of tears upon my tongue, 
                      Dm7                 E7 
the time has come for me to pay for yesterday.. 
           Am    Dm Am 
when I was young.
