The girl from yesterday

INTRO: |  C-Bm7-Am7|G     |D  Dsus2-D|G     |D  Am7-D7-

VERSE 1:

 |G             |G7              |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         |
He packed his things, walked out the door and drove away.

C  Bm7-Am7|G             |D               |G    |D  Am7-D7-
       And she became the girl from yester-day.

VERSE 2:

  |G             |G7                   |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.

CHORUS:

   |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                |G
And she doesn't count the teardrops.

          |C                 |G
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                   |./.    |
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-day.
