Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C]

[Verse 1]
I [C]know it's true,
but I'm sorry to say
Yesterdays a day away.
Nothing I can do to make it
[D]stay [Em]like [F]that.
Ain't that a [C]fact.

[Verse 2]
I [C]know it's true, but I'm sorry to say
I just can't handle things this way.
I know it's late, but I'd like to stay [Em]a whi[F]le,
see you smile.
[C]

[Verse 3]
Will you [F]meet me in the morning,
with [C]sun fresh on the dew?
Will you [F]meet me in the afternoon,
made [C]just for me and you?
Will you [F]meet me in the evening,
when the [C]nighttime starts to crawl?
Will [Am]you meet [G]me in the hall?
Will [Em]you m[Am]eet me on the wall?
Will you [G]meet me at all?

[Verse 4]
[C]One more time, one more time.
Shaking up and down my spine.
Jump a rope or skip a line [Em]or two.[F]
What can [C]I do?

[Verse 5]
[C]One more time, one more time.
Color flashing neon signs.
Advertising a friend of my distrac[F]tion,
latest at[C]traction.

[Interlude 1]
[C][F]
[C]

[Verse 6]
Oh my [F]body has been punished.
Lord, I [C]think I've had enough.
Oh my [F]body has been punished
With too [C]much and not enough.
Oh my [F]body has been punished
And my [C]mind can no longer bluff.
My [G]mind is so unkind,
my [Am]mind is so unkind.
It keeps me cry[G]ing all the time.

[Verse 7]
[G]
[C]I know it's true,
but I'm sorry to say

[Outro 1]
Yesterdays a day away.
[C]
