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
