Only Yesterday

(Eb)After long enough of being alone,

(Bb7)ev'ryone must face their share of (Eb)loneliness.

(Cm)In my own time, nobody knew the (Gm7)pain I was goin' through,

and (Fm7)waitin' was all my heart could (Bb)do.

(Eb)Hope was all I had until you came.

(Ddim7)Maybe you can't see how much you (Bb)mean to (Eb)me.

(Cm)You were the dawn breaking the night,

the (Gm7)promise of morning light,

(F)filling the world surrounding me.

And when I hold you, (Db)baby,

baby, feels like maybe (Fm)things will be alright.

(Db)Baby, baby, your love's made me (Fm7)free as a song,

(Bb7)singin' forever.

(Eb)Only yesterday when I was sad and I was lonely,

you showed me the way to leave the past and all its tears behind me.

(G7)Tomorrow may be even brighter than today

(C)since (Fm)I threw my (Bb)sadness (Fm7)away,

only (Eb)yesterday.

(Eb)I have found my home here in your arms;

(Bb7)nowhere else on earth I'd really rather (Eb)be.

(Cm)Life waits for us;

share it with me.

The (Ebmaj7)best is about to be,

and (F)so much is left for us to see.

And when I hold you, (Eb)day.

(E)Only yesterday when I was sad and I was lonely,

you showed me the way to leave the past and all its tears behind me.

(G#7)Tomorrow may be even brighter than today

(C#)since (F#m)I threw my (B)sadness (F#m)away,

only (E)yesterday.

(E)Only yesterday when I was sad and I was lonely,

you showed me the way to leave the past and all its tears behind me.

(G#7)Tomorrow may be even brighter than today

(C#)since (F#m)I threw my (B)sadness (F#m)away,

only (E)yesterday.

(E)day.
