C  G/B  Am7  G  D7   G  D7


[Verse 1]

   G               G7               C
It wasn't really sad the way they said good-bye
   D                             G             D
Or maybe it just hurt so bad she couldn't cry
C/E  D/F#  G                       G7                      C
     He    packed his things, walked out the door and drove away


[Chorus]

G/B  Am7   G            D7                G         D7
       And she became the girl from yesterday


[Verse 2]
(same as verse 1)

He took a plane across the sea to some foreign land
She stayed at home and tried so hard to understand
How someone who had been so close could be so far away


[Chorus]

G/B  Am7   G            D7                G
       And she became the girl from yesterday


[Verse 3]

D/F#  Em7   D
        She doesn't know what's right
    C                   G
She doesn't know what's wrong
    C    D/F#        Em7       G/D   C                 D7
She only knows the pain that comes from waiting for so long
        C                    G
And she doesn't count the teardrops
           C                    G
That she's cried while he's away
  Em            D      C      G/B
Because she knows deep in her heart
     Am7                D7sus  D7     Em7  D/F#
That he'll be back someday


[Solo]

G       G7     C      C   G/B  Am7
G       D7     G      E  D/F#  E/G#

    A                   A7         D
The light's on in the window; she's waiting by the phone
E7                         A              E7  F#m7  E/G#
Talking to a memory that's never coming home
    A               A7             D
She dreams of his returning and the things that he might say


[Outro]

A/C#  Bm7      A           E7                        A  Bm7  A/C#  D
   But  she'll always be the girl from yesterday
A/C#  Bm7      A           E7                        D  A/C#  Bm7  A
   Yeah  she'll always be the girl from yesterday
