   G              G7                C           Csus4 C Csus4 C 
It wasn't  really sad  the way they said goodbye.  
   D               D7               G            D  Dsus2 D 
Or maybe  it just  hurt so bad  she couldn't cry.  
   G                         G7                C          C  Bm7 
He packed his things  walked out the door  and drove away.  
Am7 G               D                 G      D  Am7 D7 
And she became  the girl  from yester-day.

   G               G7                     C           Csus4 C Csus4 C 
He took a plane  a-cross the sea  to some foreign land.  
    D                   D7                G          D  Dsus2 D 
She stayed at home  and tried so hard  to understand.  
    G                G7                   C             C   Bm7 
How someone who  had been so close  could be so  far  a-way.  
Am7 G               D                 G      G  D Am7 
And she became  the girl  from yester-day.
[Refrain]
    D                     D           C        C9           G 
She doesn't  know  what's right,  she doesn't  know  what’s wrong.  
    G     D          Em7        G           C                 D 
She only  knows  the pain  that comes  from waiting  for  so  long.  
        C       C/g       G                     C            C/g    G 
And she doesn't count the teardrops, that she's cried  while he's a-way.  
   Em        D          C      G 
Be-cause she knows deep in her heart,  
     Am7           A7   Dsus4      D       
That he'll be back some-day.

    A                  A7            D                    D      
The light's on in  the window, she's waiting by the phone.  
E              E7             A             Esus4  E   
Talking to  a  memory, that's never  coming home.  
    A                 A7 
She dreams of  his re-turning,  
        D                    D  C#m7 
And the things that he might say.  
Bm7        A              E                 A      Bm7 
But she’ll always be  the girl  from yester-day.  
            A              E                 D   C#m7  Bm7   A 
Yeah she'll always be  the girl  from yester-da  -  y...
