G#m           E 
I thought I knew you well 
    B                      F# 
But all this time I could never tell 
G#m        E                 B             F# 
I let you get away haunts me every night & every day 
 
(Intro-twice) 
 
G#m          E            B              F# 
You were the only one the only friend I counted on 
G#m                    E 
How could I watch you walk away  
         B                     F# 
I'd give anything to have you here today 
 
    A#m           F#            C#  G#      A#m 
But now I stand alone with my pride    and dream 
             F#          C#  G# 
That you're still by my side    but that was 
D#m                              F# 
Yesterday I had the world in my hands 
                 C# 
But it's not the end of my world  
                         D#m 
Just a slight change of plans 
 
                                   A#m 
That was yesterday but today life goes on  
                   C#  
No more hiding in yesterday cause yesterday's gone 
 
(Intro-twice) 
 
G#m             E 
Love my love I gave it all 
           B                    F# 
Thought I saw the light when I heard you call 
G#m           E 
Life that we both could share 
       B                F# 
Has deserted me left me in despair 
 
    A#m           F#            C#  G# 
But now I stand alone with my pride    fighting back 
     A#m           F#         C# G# 
The tears I never let myself cry    but that was 
 D#m                             F# 
Yesterday love was torn from my hands 
                 C# 
But it's not the end of my world 
                      D#m 
Just a little hard to understand 
 
                                  A#m 
That was yesterday but today life goes on 
                      C# 
You won't find me in yesterday's world 
                 D#m 
Now yesterday's gone 
                                    A#m 
Goodbye yesterday now it's over and done 
                        C# 
Still I hope somewhere deep in your heart  
 
 
                          F#    G#m      E 
Yesterday will live on E|----------------12-
