D#
I just can't believe
A#
you're
gone
Still waitin? for mornin? to come
When I
G#
see if the sun
D#
will
rise
In the way that you're by my side
When we had so
A#
much in store
Tell me what is it I'm
G#
reaching
for
When we're through building
D#
memories
I?ll hold yesterday in my heart, in my heart
They can take tomorrow
Gm
and the
A#
plans we made
They can take
G#
the music that we?ll never play
All the broken dreams, take everything
Just take it away
D#
but they can never
A#
have
yesterday
They can take
D#
the future that we?ll never know
They can take the places that we said we will go
All the broken dreams take everything
Just
Gm
take it away but they
D#
can never have yesterday
You always choose to stay
I should be thankful for everyday
Heaven knows what the future holds
Or least where the story goes
A#
But I never
G#
believed until now
I
D#
know I?ll see you again, I'm sure
No,
A#
it's
D#
not selfish to ask for more
Gm
One more night, one more day
One more smile on your face
But they can't take yesterday
They can take
A#
tomorrow and
D#
the plans we made
They
A#
can take the music that we?ll never play
D#
All the broken dreams, take everything
Just take it away but they can never have yesterday
They can take the future that we?ll never know
They can take the places that we said we will go
All the broken dreams take everything
G#
Just take it away but
Gm
they can never
A#
have
yesterday
I thought our days
G#
would last forever
Cm7
But it wasn?t our
A#
destiny
?Cause in my mind
D#
we
G#
had so much time
D#
But I was so
F#
wrong
No, I can, believe me
I can
A#
still find the strength in the moments we made
I'm lookin? back
D#
on
yesterday
They can take tomorrow and the plans we made
They can take the music that we?ll never play
All the broken dreams, take everything
Just take it away but they can never
Gm
have
yesterday
They can take the future that
D#
we?ll never know
They can take the places that we said we will go
All the broken dreams take everything
Just
Cm7
take it away but they can never
G#
have
yesterday
All the
D#
broken dreams take everything
But they can
A#
never have yesterday
