Return To Yesterday

C

[Verse 1]
C          F     C        G    
It was the day before the day 
      C
before yesterday
     F                     G      
When we thought everything would 
   C
now go our way
     F         G          C
We inherited a fortune of innocence
      Em                  F
And they took it all away

[Verse 2]
                 G            
We travel on the last bus from 
 C
sanity
        F        C       G       
Through province town to cities 
     C
of obscurity
    F                 G         C
And some way down the road it occurs
 to me
      Em                 G      Em
That I might have missed my stop

[Chorus]
F             C  F       G        F
But I will not return to yesterday
C  F              G      F
Or smooth out the human clay
C     F             G           
We'll face this new England like
           Am
 we always have
                  G
In a fury of denial
                                F
We'll go out dancing on the tiles
Help me down, but don't take me 
C Am G C
baaaaack

[Verse 3]
  F             G                
I heard a lover calling to Saint 
C
Anthony

F     C        G         
Sadly treating love like her 
    C
property
     F              G              
Only battles can be lost and so it 
C
seems we do
       Em                  F
But I'm hoping for a change

[Verse 4]
                  G          
I left you at the bus stop in 
 C
working town
        F       C        G 
Now the service has been cut, 
            C
re-named slumberdown
      F              G            
I can see you on the bars of your 
            C
brother's bicycle
     Em
Now I hope you're not alone

[Chorus]
F             C  F       G        F
But I will not return to yesterday
C  F              G      F
Or smooth out the human clay
C     F             G           
We'll face this new England like
           Am
 we always have
                 G
In a fury of denial
                              F
We'll go out dancing on the tiles
Help me down, but don't take me 
C Am G C
baaaaack

[Bridge]
            Am         F
And all the politician creeps
                      C
I know they want them back
        Am            F
And the couturier weeps
                          C
She knows they won't come back
        Am
And the lovers who seldom speak
F                     C
I know they want them back
               Am                  
And me falling back into your half 
     G
term kisses

[Chorus]
F             C  F       G        F
No, I will not return to yesterday
C  F              G      F
Or smooth out the human clay
C     F             G           
We'll face this new England like
           Am
 we always have
                 G
In a fury of denial
                               F
We'll go out dancing on the tiles
                                C
Help me down, but don't take me back
  F       G        F
Return to yesterday
C  F              G      F
Or smooth out the human clay
C     F             G           
We'll face this new England like
           Am
 we always have
                 G
In a fury of denial
                               F
We'll go out dancing on the tiles
                                C
Help me down, but don't take me back
  F       G        F
Return to yesterday
C  F              G      F  C
Or smooth out the human clay
