Am
Yesterday
                                    G
All the lights were shining on the love we made
                                  F
Out of sight was out of mind, a dream away
                                   C
Lost between the Beatles and the Stones
    Am
You got me now
(You got me now)
                                 G
You got me so believing in your master plan
                                         F
You walk me through my future like some superman
                                       C
Tell me things that God alone should know
      D
But that's okay

Chorus:
C
Hear me now
                    Em
'Cause things ain't working out
       F
If my soul be damned
                      C
It's all part of the master plan

Fade away
Walk around in circles as the fire escapes
With sorrow undivided by the love of gold
When nothing is so pure, it can't be sold
Believe me now (Believe me now)
Believe me when I tell you there's another way
The sun will rise tomorrow on your world of pain
If only you would let your feelings show
But that's okay

Chorus:
C
Hear me now
                    Em
'Cause things ain't working out
       F
If my soul be damned
                      C
It's all part of the master plan
C
Walk away
             Em
But know I'm here to stay
           F
It's not who I am
                       C
It's just part of the master plan

    Em
You need a lot of rage
        D
To get by these days
    Em
You need a lot of faith
              G
To reach the sun

   C
I feel rage
   Em
I need faith
           F
It's not who I am
                       C
It's just part of the master plan
   C
I feel rage
   Em
I need faith
       F
If my soul be damned
                      C
It's all part of the master plan
