[Verse]
 
Am
Lock the door and close the curtain
C
No more lies, I'm tired of hurtin' 
G                              D
        I think you know what I mean 
           Am
There's an empty sound that lonely makes 
           C
Don't know how much more that I can take 
    G                      D
And yesterday was just a dream
 
 
[Chorus]
 
      Am             C
Yesterday was just a dream 
         G             D
Nothin's ever what it seems 
           Am                    C
Tomorrow's comin' - it won't be long
      G              D
Yesterday is here and gone 
 
 
[Instrumental]
 
Am      C       G       D
 
 
[Verse]
 
       Am
Words tumble out like an open book
          C
While the world was turning, something shook 
G                          D
        From a whisper to a scream 
       Am
Rain's beatin' down on the window pane 
         C
Makes me wonder about you again 
G                                   D
        And yesterday was just a dream 
 
 
[Chorus]
 
      Am             C
Yesterday was just a dream 
         G             D
Nothin's ever what it seems 
           Am                    C
Tomorrow's comin' - it won't be long
      G              D
Yesterday is here and gone
 
 
[Bridge]
 
                  Am
Tell me what's it for, this life we're living 
    C
The world is cold and unforgiving 
G                             D
        And your smile is so serene 
 
 
[Chorus]
 
      Am             C
Yesterday was just a dream 
         G             D
Nothin's ever what it seems 
           Am                    C
Tomorrow's comin' - it won't be long
      G              D
Yesterday is here and gone
 
 
[Outro]
 
Am      C                         G
                Ma, it's here and gone
