Yesterday

Am, G, C, D,

[Chorus 1]
   Am
Yesterday I said my
  G
Prayer for you
       C
Now I feel that I
         D
Won't be by your side
    Am
Yesterday I said my
  G
Prayer for you
          C
When I realised
             D
This is my goodbye

[Verse 1]
 Am             G
Yeah, have you ever been dogged
      C                      D
By a best mate or even by a friend that you got?
 Am               G
Well, you been gettin' 'em wrong
             C                          D
They put a knife in your back to get ahead in their job
 Am                   G
You been definitely gettin' 'em wrong
           C                                    D
All this hatred, where the hell have they been gettin' it from?
  Am                                 G
Every time you succeed like you're settin' 'em off
                 C                              D
It's like your life is somethin' that they're envious of
  Am                       G
Don't get jelly when they win though
                 C                        D
Anytime they're killin', go and cheer for 'em
 Am                      G
Don't be happy when they get low
               C                             D
Hit 'em up and let 'em know you're here for 'em
Am                                   G
Throwin' hands what you're gettin' ready for
                  C                              D
Never been a friendship where there's never any flaws
   Am                                     G
In the rulebook there's forever been a clause:
         C                        D
'Never bring a life down just to get ahead in yours'
Yo, tell 'em

[Chorus 2]
   Am
Yesterday I said my
  G
Prayer for you
       C
Now I feel that I
         D
Won't be by your side
    Am
Yesterday I said my
  G
Prayer for you
          C
When I realised
             D
This is my goodbye

(WHISTLE TUNE)

[Verse 2]
Am                                G
Yeah, I know it hurts to get backstabbed
                C                      D
Your first reaction, you wanna go and stab back
Am                         G
It doesn't work, there's nothin' worse
         C                               D
It's undeserved, now they're spreadin' lies and it fuckin' hurts
Am                          G
They prob'ly did it out of vanity
                           C                 D
What's killin', they were meant to be your family
Am                           G
The shit'll burn, but give 'em worse
                 C                              D
Live and learn, swallow your pride and be the bigger person
Am                         G
That's the problem with friendly competition
  C                    D
Only gonna end as opposition
Am                                    G
You don't ever wanna get in that position
         C                      D
Tell 'em but they never gonna listen
Am                            G
Yeah, if you do that's some shit that you'll regret it
                    C                      D
Either isn't gonna end well or isn't gonna end
Am                                 G
Forgive 'em, start wishin' 'em the best
                    C                            D
'Cause while they prayin' that you fail, go and hit 'em with success
And kill 'em

[Bridge]
Am
You gotta know, you gotta know
G
How you've betrayed me
C
And you oughta know, you oughta know
D
I hope you make it
Am
Until you grow, until you grow
G
Out of this hatred
C
You'll never know, you'll never know
D
Until you change it

[Chorus 3]
   Am
Yesterday I said my
  G
Prayer for you
       C
Now I feel that I
         D
Won't be by your side
    Am
Yesterday I said my
  G
Prayer for you
          C
When I realised
             D
This is my goodbye
