[Verse 1]
    Cadd9                    
I remember when you were only 
      G
seventeen
             Cadd9              
You were the finest girl that my 
               G
eyes had ever seen
                     Em            
I guess you found it hard to simply
        C
 just ignore
                     Em            
This scruffy beat up working class 
              C   D
teenage troubadour
      G                  D        
So we fell in love and I toured 
                 Em          C
your heart with my out of tune 
guitar
         G                  D     
You were wonderful you were 
           Em                C
mystical and the envy of all of my 
friends
           G          D           
Seems like only yesterday under 
  C                 G
the stars on Brighton Beach

[Verse 2]
          Cadd9                    
Oh what a time it was what a time 
      G
to be alive
         Cadd9                   
Remember Janice and Jimi, Kennedy 
                  G
and King, how we cried

                  Em               
I sang to you the songs of Ramblin'
 C
 Jack
               Em             
You were Greta Garbo and I was 
      C   D
Kerouac
       G                     D    
And we played so hard and we loved
                   Em         C
 so hard seemed we never ever slept
          G                   
They were crazy days they were 
 D                    Em
wonderful days and I loved you with 
all of my
C
heart
           G          D           
Seems like only yesterday under 
  C                 G

[Bridge]
Em                            C
Your daddy had plans that did not 
include me
       Em                         
And he warned stay away from your 
C
door
      Em                           
And I dreamed how I dreamed I could
 C
 steal you away
        Am              D
To some far off distant shore

[Verse 3]
     Cadd9                       
Then early one morning I awoke to 
          G
find you gone
             Cadd9                 
You wrote 'I love you baby but it's
                     G
 time for me to move on'
                  Em        
And so my teenage heart laid 
                  C
scattered on the floor
                 Em            
I swear to God I could not have 
              C    D
loved you anymore
         G                        
And as I sit here tonight playing 
D
with my kids wondering
Em                    C
Where you are in this world
        G                     D   
Did you find your man are you 
             Em                    
happy now do you ever stop and 
   C
think about me
      G              D             
How I long for yesterday under the
