Chords with lyrics

INTRO:

Chord diagramE minorEm Chord diagramF#7F#7 Chord diagramB minorBm

Chord diagramE minorEm                           Chord diagramA7A7
It seems the love I've known
                Chord diagramD MajorD                      Chord diagramG+G
Has always been the most destructive kind
Chord diagramE minorEm
I guess that's why now
Chord diagramF#7F#7
I feel so old
Chord diagramB minorBm
Before my time

Chorus:
     Chord diagramE minorEm              Chord diagramA7A7
Yesterday when I was young
                      Chord diagramD MajorD                     Chord diagramG+G
the taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue
                    Chord diagramE minorEm                    Chord diagramF#7F#7
I teased at life as if it were a foolish game
                    Chord diagramB minorBm
the way the evening breeze may tease a candle flame

Verse:
                      Chord diagramE minorEm                             Chord diagramA7A7
The thousand dreams I dreamed, the splendid things I planned
               Chord diagramD MajorD                            Chord diagramG+G
I always built to last on weak and shifting sand
                     Chord diagramE minorEm                            Chord diagramF#7F#7
I lived by night and shunned the naked light of the day
               Chord diagramB minorBm
and only now I see how the years ran away

Chorus:
     Chord diagramE minorEm              Chord diagramA7A7
Yesterday when I was young
              Chord diagramD MajorD                         Chord diagramG+G
so many happy songs were waiting to be sung,
                Chord diagramE minorEm                      Chord diagramF#7F#7
so many wild pleasures lay in store for me
                 Chord diagramB minorBm
and so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see

Verse:
                   Chord diagramE minorEm                         Chord diagramA7A7
I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out
                   Chord diagramD MajorD                       Chord diagramG+G
I never stopped to think what life was all about
                Chord diagramE minorEm               Chord diagramF#7F#7
and every conversation I can now recall
                      Chord diagramB minorBm
concerned itself with me and nothing else at all

Instrumental Break:
Chord diagramE minorEm Chord diagramA7A7 Chord diagramD MajorD Chord diagramG+G Chord diagramE minorEm Chord diagramF#7F#7 Chord diagramB minorBm

Chorus:
     Chord diagramE minorEm                Chord diagramA7A7
Yesterday the moon was blue
                Chord diagramD MajorD                            Chord diagramG+G
and every crazy day brought something new to do
               Chord diagramE minorEm                   Chord diagramF#7F#7
I used my magic age as if it were a wand
                   Chord diagramB minorBm
and never saw the waste and emptiness beyond

                   Chord diagramE minorEm                        Chord diagramA7A7
The game of love I played with arrogance and pride
                  Chord diagramD MajorD                       Chord diagramG+G
and every flame I lit too quickly quickly died
                       Chord diagramE minorEm                      Chord diagramF#7F#7
The friends I made all seemed somehow to drift away
                   Chord diagramB minorBm
and only I am left on stage to end the play

                 Chord diagramE minorEm                         Chord diagramA7A7
There are so many songs in me that won't be sung
                  Chord diagramD MajorD                      Chord diagramG+G
I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue
                     Chord diagramE minorEm                 Chord diagramF#7F#7                Chord diagramB minorBm
The time has come for me to pay for yesterday when I was young
