      Am7            D7
Yesterday when I was young 
                       G7M                  C7M
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 
                  G7M                        C7M
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
              G7M                     C7M
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
                      G7M                     C7M
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
                  G7M                         C7M
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
         G7M     C7M
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
                     G7M                      C7M
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.
