A          Amaj7
Only yesterday
                    D       F#m
I told myself that life is grey
                G
Didn't make me sad
               A
Made me feel human


[Verse 2]
            A          Amaj7
Only yesterday
                   D       F#m
I told myself that love is green
                 G
Greener than the trees
                 A 
Growing in my bedroom


[Pre Refrain]
                F#m           A
Made me want to lose myself, lose myself
     C#m            G#m
In a song about the sun
       F#m                 E
Or the many things that I don't understand
       C#m              A
Like I did since I was young


[Refrain]
                F#m           A
Made me want to open doors, sleep on floors
     C#m            G#m
In a world outside your door
       F#m                 E
Watch a movie, play some piano
       C#m              A          B
Write a sonnet, build an army
                A                  B
Let's build an army
               A                   B
Now will you love me?
                A                  B
Let's build an army


[Verse 3]
            A          Amaj7
Only yesterday
                 D         F#m
I realised that tall, dark tomb
                G
Punctuates the sky
               A
A giant's exclamation


[Refrain]
                F#m
Shame on our beloved nation
     A               C#m          G#m
The codes we send as ash into the sky
          F#m                E
Oh sorrow cure me from tiny glories
             C#m                 A         B
Now dig for beauty and build an army
                A                          B
Let's build an army
               A                           B
Now will you love me?
                A
Let's build an army


[Interlude]

[Chorus]
     A                E
The truth is life is grey
     A                  E
The truth is times are strange
     A           E
The truth is I'm ok
             D
And you're beautiful


[Chorus]
     A                E
The truth is life is grey
     A                  E
The truth is times are strange
     A           E
The truth is I'm ok
             D
And you're beautiful
             D
And you're beautiful
             D
And you're beautiful
             D
And you're beautiful
             D
And you're beautiful
             D
And you're beautiful
