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 
 
    Bbm           Gb            Db  Ab      Bbm 
But now I stand alone with my pride    and dream 
             Gb          Db  Ab 
That you're still by my side    but that was 
Ebm                              Gb 
Yesterday I had the world in my hands 
                 Db 
But it's not the end of my world  
                         Ebm 
Just a slight change of plans 
 
                                   Bbm 
That was yesterday but today life goes on  
                   Db  
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 
 
    Bbm           Gb            Db  Ab 
But now I stand alone with my pride    fighting back 
     Bbm           Gb         Db Ab 
The tears I never let myself cry    but that was 
 Ebm                             Gb 
Yesterday love was torn from my hands 
                 Db 
But it's not the end of my world 
                      Ebm 
Just a little hard to understand 
 
                                  Bbm 
That was yesterday but today life goes on 
                      Db 
You won't find me in yesterday's world 
                 Ebm 
Now yesterday's gone 
                                    Bbm 
Goodbye yesterday now it's over and done 
                        Db 
Still I hope somewhere deep in your heart  
 
 
                          F#    G#m      E
