Guitar chords with lyrics

Only Yesterday
(Carpenters)

Eb             Fm7/Eb
After long enough of being alone
Bb/Eb
Everyone must face
        Eb  Bb/D Cm7
their share of loneliness
     F7/A    Bb
In my own time nobody knew
  Gm        Ab
The pain I was goin' through
  Fm7        Bb4     Bb Bb7
And waitin' was all my heart could do

Eb              F7/Eb
Hope was all I had until you came
Ddim/Eb
Maybe you can't see
       Bb/Eb  Eb  Bb/D Cm
how much you mean to me
       F7/A       Bb
You were the dawn breaking the night
  Gm7          Ab
The promise of morning light
F/A          Bb
Filing the world surrounding me

When I hold you
Bridge:
C#
Baby, Baby Feels like maybe
Fm
things will be all right
C#              C#/B
Baby, Baby, your love's made me
Fm7/Bb     Bb7
Free as a song singin' forever
Chorus:
Eb            Fm7
Only yesterday when I was sad
     Bb7
And I was lonely
Eb                 Fm7
You showed me the way to leave the past
      Bb      G
And all its tears behind me
           Cm       C7sus4 - C7
Tomorrow may be even brighter than today
   Fm     Bb   Ab/Eb
Since I threw my sadness away
      Eb
Only yesterday

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

Bridge:
C#
Baby, Baby Feels like maybe
Fm
things will be all right
C#              C#/B
Baby, Baby, your love's made me

Free as a song singin' forever

And all its tears behind me

Tomorrow may be even brighter than today
