G             Bm                    C                G           
I watched the planes come in on the early morning flights 
       C         G        C        G       D 
But I could not stand to see them land, without you

        Am        G      B            Em    C            D        G

All the sad songs, take me back to you now that we are apart 
      G     D   C                   Am                D          
Now I know how Paul McCartney felt when he got up to say 
C   G         D           G 
I wish it was Yes - ter - day
