Only Yesterday
(Carpenters)

Eb MajorEb             Fm7/Eb
After long enough of being alone
Bb/Eb
Everyone must face
        Eb MajorEb  Bb/DBb/D Cm7Cm7
their share of loneliness
     F7/A    Bb majorBb
In my own time nobody knew
  G minorGm        AbAb
The pain I was goin' through
  Fm7Fm7        Bb4     Bb majorBb Bb7Bb7
And waitin' was all my heart could do

Eb MajorEb              F7/Eb
Hope was all I had until you came
Ddim/Eb
Maybe you can't see
       Bb/Eb  Eb MajorEb  Bb/DBb/D C minorCm
how much you mean to me
       F7/A       Bb majorBb
You were the dawn breaking the night
  Gm7Gm7          AbAb
The promise of morning light
F/AF/A          Bb majorBb
Filing the world surrounding me

When I hold you
Bridge:
C#C#
Baby, Baby Feels like maybe
F minorFm
things will be all right
C#C#              C#/B
Baby, Baby, your love's made me
Fm7/Bb     Bb7Bb7
Free as a song singin' forever
Chorus:
Eb MajorEb            Fm7Fm7
Only yesterday when I was sad
     Bb7Bb7
And I was lonely
Eb MajorEb                 Fm7Fm7
You showed me the way to leave the past
      Bb majorBb      G+G
And all its tears behind me
           C minorCm       C7sus4C7sus4 - C7C7
Tomorrow may be even brighter than today
   F minorFm     Bb majorBb   Ab/Eb
Since I threw my sadness away
      Eb MajorEb
Only yesterday

Eb MajorEb                Fm7/Eb
I have found my home here in your arms
Bb7/Eb
Nowhere else on earth
      Eb MajorEb    Bb/DBb/D C minorCm
 I'd really rather be
        F7/A       Bb majorBb
Life waits for us share it with me
  EbM7/G      AbAb
The best is about to be
  F/AF/A          Bb majorBb
And So much is left for us to see

Bridge:
C#C#
Baby, Baby Feels like maybe
F minorFm
things will be all right

Baby, Baby, your love's made me

Free as a song singin' forever
