    Bb/F             F             Bb/F         F 
 My yesterdays are all boxed up and neatly put away 
Dm                Dm/C              G/B         
 But ev'ry now and then you come to mind 
Bb                     F             Dm                 G7      
 Cause you were always waiting to be picked to play the game 
               Bb                    C               Dm    Dm/C    
 But when your name was called, you found a place to hide  
          Bb               C             Bb/F  F  Bb/F   F  
 When you knew that I was always on your side 
 
VERSE: (STING) 
 
      Bb/F            F            Bb/F          F 
 Well everything was easy then, so sweet and innocent 
Dm              Dm/C         G/B   
 my demons and my angels reappeared 
Bb             F            Dm                 G7                         
 Leavin' only traces of the man you thought I'd be 
      Bb                 C                Dm     Dm/C   
 To afraid to hear the words I'd always feared 
         Bb            C                  Bb/F   F  Bb/F  F  
 Leavin' you with only questions all these years 
 
Chorus: 
 
     Dm                               A7/C# 
 Now is there someplace far away, someplace where all is clear 
F/C                          G               
 Easy to start over with the ones you hold so dear 
    Bb                           Eb   
 Or are you left to wander, all alone, eternally 
       Gm                     F/A     Bb      
 This isn't how it's really meant to be 
F/A     Gm                    F/A      Csus  C 
 No it isn't how it's really meant to be 
 
VERSE: 
            Bb               F         Bb/F          F   
 Well they say that love is in the air, never is it clear,  
Dm                Dm/C              G/B 
 How to pull it close and make it stay 
Bb                    F              Dm          G7 
 If butterflies are free to fly, and so they fly away 
         Bb            C              Dm  Dm/C     
 And I'm left to carry on and wonder why 
         Bb                C             Bb/F  F  Bb/F  F 
 Even through it all, I'm always on your side 
  
     Dm                                A7/C#             
 But is there someplace far away, someplace where all is clear 
F/C                          G      
 Easy to start over with the ones you hold so dear 
    Bb                         Eb         
 Or are we left to wander, all alone, eternally 
      Gm                     F/A     Bb      
 This isn't how it's really meant to be 
F/A     Gm                    F/A      Csus  C 
 No it isn't how it's really meant to be 
 
VERSE: 
            Bb               F         Bb/F          F   
 Well they say that love is in the air, never is it clear,  
Dm                Dm/C              G/B 
 How to pull it close and make it stay 
Bb                    F              Dm          G7 
 If butterflies are free to fly, why do they fly away 
         Bb          C              Dm  Dm/C 
 Leavin' me to carry on and wonder why 
        Bb                 C                    Dm   Dm/C 
 Was it you that kept me wondering through this life 
          Bb                C      Bb/F       F   Bb/F   F  Bb  C  Eb  Bb/D  F 
 When you know that I was always on your side
