Verse 1:
      A augmentedA     Amaj7Amaj7
Only yesterday
          D MajorD    F# minorF#m
I told myself that life is grey
        G+G
Didn't make me sad
        A augmentedA
Made me feel human


Verse 2:
      A augmentedA     Amaj7Amaj7
Only yesterday
          D MajorD    F# minorF#m
I told myself that love is green
         G+G
Greener than the trees
         A augmentedA
Growing in my bedroom

Pre Refrain:
        F# minorF#m      A augmentedA
Made me want to lose myself, lose myself
   C# minorC#m      G# minorG#m
In a song about the sun
    F# minorF#m         E MajorE
Or the many things that I don't understand
    C# minorC#m       A augmentedA
Like I did since I was young


Refrain:
        F# minorF#m      A augmentedA
Made me want to open doors, sleep on floors
   C# minorC#m      G# minorG#m
In a world outside your door
    F# minorF#m         E MajorE
Watch a movie, play some piano
    C# minorC#m       A augmentedA     BB
Write a sonnet, build an army
        A augmentedA         BB
Let's build an army
        A augmentedA          BB
Now will you love me?
        A augmentedA         BB
Let's build an army

Verse 3:
      A augmentedA     Amaj7Amaj7
Only yesterday
         D MajorD     F# minorF#m
I realised that tall, dark tomb
        G+G
Punctuates the sky
        A augmentedA
A majorA giant's exclamation


Refrain:
        F# minorF#m
Shame on our beloved nation
   A augmentedA        C# minorC#m     G# minorG#m
The codes we send as ash into the sky
     F# minorF#m        E MajorE
Oh sorrow cure me from tiny glories
       C# minorC#m         A augmentedA     BB
Now dig for beauty and build an army
        A augmentedA             BB
Let's build an army
        A augmentedA              BB
Now will you love me?
        A augmentedA
Let's build an army
