Only Yesterday Chords

(ver. 1)
Carpenters
Eb                          Fm7/Eb 
After long enough of being alone 
Bb/Eb                             
Everyone must face 
               Eb    Bb/D Cm7 
their share of loneliness 
          F7/A        Bb 
In my own time nobody knew 
    Gm               Ab 
The pain I was goin' through 
    Fm7                Bb4         Bb Bb7 
And waitin' was all my heart could do 

Eb                           F7/Eb 
Hope was all I had until you came 
Ddim/Eb                           
Maybe you can't see 
             Bb/Eb   Eb   Bb/D Cm 
how much you mean to me 
             F7/A              Bb 
You were the dawn breaking the night 
    Gm7                    Ab 
The promise of morning light 
F/A                   Bb 
Filing the world surrounding me 

When I hold you 
Bridge:
C# 
Baby, Baby Feels like maybe
Fm 
things will be all right 
C#                           C#/B
Baby, Baby, your love's made me 
Fm7/Bb         Bb7 
Free as a song singin' forever 
Chorus:
Eb                        Fm7 
Only yesterday when I was sad 
          Bb7 
And I was lonely 
Eb                                 Fm7 
You showed me the way to leave the past 
            Bb            G 
And all its tears behind me 
                     Cm              C7sus4 - C7 
Tomorrow may be even brighter than today 
      Fm          Bb      Ab/Eb 
Since I threw my sadness away 
           Eb 
Only yesterday 

Eb                                Fm7/Eb 
I have found my home here in your arms 
Bb7/Eb                                                
Nowhere else on earth
            Eb       Bb/D Cm 
 I'd really rather be 
               F7/A             Bb 
Life waits for us share it with me 
    EbM7/G           Ab 
The best is about to be 
    F/A                    Bb
And So much is left for us to see 

Bridge:
C# 
Baby, Baby Feels like maybe
Fm

Free as a song singin' forever

And all its tears behind me

Tomorrow may be even brighter than today

You showed me the way to leave the past 
            B7             G# 
And all its tears behind me 
                     C#m             C#7sus4 - C#7 
Tomorrow may be even brighter than today
