If I had to judge the future on the past.

That's when I had tomorrow in the palm of my hand.

So ask me yesterday, when my heart was wild,

I through it to the wind with a reckless smile. 
           C                          Dm 
And I had all the moves, I knew just what to say.

So ask me anything at all, but ask me yesterday.
