Lyrics

What hap pened (G7)to

the world we (C)knew,

when we would (G7)dream and scheme and (C)wile the (E7)time a (Am)way, yes ter (D7)me, yes ter (G7)you, yes ter (C)day?

Where did it (G7)go,

that yes ter (C)glow,

when we could (G7)feel the wheel of (C)life the (E7)turn our (Am)way, yes ter (D7)me, yes ter (G7)you, yes ter (C)day?

I had a (Dm7)dream, so did (G7)you.

Life was (C)warm, (E7)love was (Am)true.

Two kids who fol lowed all the (G7)rules,

(G)yes (Dm)ter (C)fools.

(Ebm)And (Dm7)now, now it (G7)seems

those yes ter (C)dreams

were just a (G7)cruel and fool ish (C)game we (E7)used to (Am)play, yes ter (D7)me, yes ter (G7)you, yes ter (C)day.

When I re (Dm7)call what we (G7)had, I feel (C)lost, (E7)I feel (Am)sad,

with noth ing but the mem ’ry (G7)of

(G)yes (Dm)ter (C)love.

(Ebm)And (Dm7)now, now it (G7)seems

those yes ter (C)dreams

were just a (G7)cruel and fool ish (C)game we (E7)had to (Am)play, yes ter (D7)me, yes ter (G7)you, yes ter (C)day.
