[Verse 1]
G                                        Em7
Yesterday's news, said people were dying       down in Africa
 A#                    Asus4                Em7
Burned in the afternoon sun   too little to eat
G                                      Em7
Armies of 'saviours' ran to the rescue,   while the world looked on
    C                          D                         Em7
To help while the cameras were rolling, then sound the retreat

[Chorus]
C                Em7       D
ohh, yesterday's news
                 Em7       C       Em7      D
ohh,  yesterday's news

Yesterday's news said thousands of children      would surely die
    A#                  Asus4                  Em7
The refuse of love gone wrong, love put to the test
G                                       Em7
Angry disciples, now have grown silent       I, the worst of all
   C                    D                          Em7
My passion for righteousness joins the children at rest

[Chorus]
C                      Em7         D
ohh,   like yesterday's news
                  Em7        C        Em7      D
ohh,  yesterday's news

[Bridge]
      F                            Am
But today under the weight of the world
     Cm                    G
Only so much attention to go around
    A#                      Asus4                     G
And yesterday's tears, like morning dew, have burned away
    Cm                G
But unto the least of these
   A#                     Asus4
He said "you've done it to me"
   C                    Asus4                    Em7
oh yesterday's news come back,  break my heart today

Yesterday's news said the King of the Jews     met a cruel fate
A#                    Asus4                     Em7
Nailed to a tree over love -   that's what I've heard
   G                                            Em7
I can't shake that vision    Innocence bleeding     in my place
 C                     D                  Em7
Yesterday, today and forever    always the same, always the same
