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 
 

      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

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  


      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  


      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
