                C#      G# B F#
Well I used to sing it
               C#       G#                  B F#
And I used to crank it with the windows down
          C#      G# B F#
I used to love it
            C#        G#              B  F#
Oh, but I'm over it, man I'm over it now

  C#       G#              B    F#
I used to leave it playin' on repeat
   C#        G#             B        F#
I spun that record 'til it turned on me
        C#   G#             B     F#
But the DJ knows exactly what I need
          C#           G#             B
I need an out with the old in with a new beat

Chorus:
             A#m                      F#
You were the rooftop at the top of my lungs
             C#                         G#
Blowin' the speakers in the back of my trunk
                  A#m
And you had your chance then,
                    F#
yeah, but I'm movin' on
                     C#
And now you're just yesterday's song, you're
 G#
yesterday's song
    A#m                           F#
The soundtrack, every night in my bed
             C#                          G#
You were the woo-hoo gettin' stuck in my head
                   A#m                      F#
Now you're just an echo when the feeling is gone
                      C#
Baby, now you're just yesterday's song,
        G#
you're yesterday's song

We had a moment
There's no more magic in the melody
It's lost and you know it
It's just the sound of what we used to be

Yeah, I used to leave it playing on repeat
I spun that record 'til it turned on me
Yeah, the DJ knows exactly what I need
A little dancing could be good for me

Chorus

                  C#   G#
I got a whole new hey (hey)
                   B    F#
I got a brand new wooh (wooh)
       C#                   G#
I got new moves, and you're old news
         B               F#
I got a new song I wanna sing to
          C#                G#              B
I'm gonna get by, I'm gonna get through without you

Chorus:
You used to be the rooftop, at the top of my lungs
Blowing the speakers, in the back of my trunk
Yeah, you had your chance then, yeah,
but I'm moving on (yeah, I'm moving on)
And now you're just yesterday's song,
you're yesterday's song
The soundtrack, every night in my bed
You were the "woo-hoo", getting stuck in
my head (stuck in my head)
Now you're just an echo, when the feeling is gone
Baby, now you're just yesterday's song,
yesterday's song
Yesterday's song, oh

Na, na, na-na-na-na
Na, na-na-na-na nah
Na, na-na-na-na
(Oh, the feeling is gone,
yeah, the feeling is gone, yeah)
Na, na, na-na-na-na
Na, na-na-na-na nah
Na, na-na-na-na
(Goodbye, goodbye, baby)
Na, na, na-na-na-na
Na, na-na-na-na nah (yesterday's song)
Na, na-na-na-na
