Intro: [C][G]-[D][G]-[D]

It [G] wasn't really [G7] sad the way they [C] said good-bye
Or [D] maybe it just hurt so bad she [G] couldn't cry [D7]
He [G] packed his things, [G7] walked out the door and [C] drove away
And [G] she became the [D7] girl from yester-[G] day [C][D7]

He [G] took a plane [G7] across the sea to some [C] foreign land
She [D] stayed at home and tried so hard to [G] understand [D7]
How [G] someone who had been so close could [C] be so far away
And [G] she became the [D7] girl from yester-[G] day

She [D] doesn't know what's right, she [C] doesn't know what's [G] wrong
She [C] only [D] knows the [Em7] pain that [D] comes from [C] waiting for so [D7] long
And she [C] doesn't count the [G] teardrops, that she's [C] cried while he's a-[G] way
Be-[Em] cause she [D] knows deep [C] in her [G] heart
That [Am7] he'll be back some-[D7]day
