[Intro]
G C G C G D
[Verse 1]
YesterGday
I drove past the Chouse we used to Glive in
When Cyou were waitin' Gtables
I was Dworking nine to five
Do you reGmember
All the Csnow we got that Gwinter?
Your Ccar could barely Gmake it
Up the Ddrive
We had to Gskimp and Csave
To pay that Grent
But it was Cworth every last Gcent
Just for the Dview
One bedroom Ghouse
Big bay Cwindows facing Gsouth
Watch the Csunrise on the Gmountain
Every Dmorning next to you
[Chorus]
Oh, the Cmemories are Gsweet, but I Emwouldn't trade 'em Dfor
The way we Cfight a little Gless now, make Emlove a little Dmore
Like that Cbottle we've been Gsaving of EmCalifornia Cwine
CWe keep getting Dbetter with Gtime
[Bridge]
C G C G D
[Verse 2]
We couldn't Gwait
A Cyear was all we Gneeded
To Cknow the love we'd Gfound
Was something Drare
We said our Gvows
On a Cweekday on the Gmountain
With a Cbottle of chamGpagne
And Dthe book of common prayers
And that first GChristmas
You'd bring home Cbottles of good Gvintage
That the Ctable didn't Gfinish
And we'd Ddrink a midnight glass
And fall Gasleep
By the Csoft light of the Gtree
With the Cdog down by our Gfeet
In each Dothers arms at last
[Chorus]
Oh, the Cmemories are Gsweet, but I Emwouldn't trade 'em Dfor
The way we Cfight a little Gless now, make Emlove a little Dmore
Like that Cbottle we've been Gsaving of EmCalifornia Cwine
CWe keep getting Dbetter with Gtime
[Verse 3]
Now it Clooks like
Someone Gfinally bought the Dplace
They'll tear it Cdown
And build some Gmillion dollar Dmansion to their taste
But honey that's Cokay
[Chorus]
Oh, the Cmemories are Gsweet, but I Emwouldn't trade 'em Dfor
The way we Cfight a little Gless now, make Emlove a little Dmore
Like that Cbottle we've been Gsaving of EmCalifornia Cwine
We keep getting Dbetter with Emtime
AmWe keep getting Cbetter with Gtime

[Intro]

G C G C G D

[Verse 1]

Yesterday

C G

I drove past the house we used to live in

C G

When you were waitin' tables

I was working nine to five

Do you remember

C G

All the snow we got that winter?

C G

Your car could barely make it

Up the drive

G C

We had to skimp and save

To pay that rent

C G

But it was worth every last cent

Just for the view

One bedroom house

C G

Big bay windows facing south

C G

Watch the sunrise on the mountain

Every morning next to you

[Chorus]

C G Em D

Oh, the memories are sweet, but I wouldn't trade 'em for

C G Em D

The way we fight a little less now, make love a little more

C G Em C

Like that bottle we've been saving of California wine

C D G

We keep getting better with time

[Bridge]

C G C G D

[Verse 2]

We couldn't wait

C G

A year was all we needed

C G

To know the love we'd found

Was something rare

We said our vows

C G

On a weekday on the mountain

C G

With a bottle of champagne

And the book of common prayers

And that first Christmas

C G

You'd bring home bottles of good vintage

C G

That the table didn't finish

And we'd drink a midnight glass

And fall asleep

C G

By the soft light of the tree

C G

With the dog down by our feet

In each others arms at last

[Chorus]

C G Em D

Oh, the memories are sweet, but I wouldn't trade 'em for

C G Em D

The way we fight a little less now, make love a little more

C G Em C

Like that bottle we've been saving of California wine

C D G

We keep getting better with time

[Verse 3]

Now it looks like

G D

Someone finally bought the place

They'll tear it down

G D

And build some million dollar mansion to their taste

But honey that's okay

[Chorus]

C G Em D

Oh, the memories are sweet, but I wouldn't trade 'em for

C G Em D

The way we fight a little less now, make love a little more

C G Em C

Like that bottle we've been saving of California wine

D Em

We keep getting better with time

Am C G

We keep getting better with time

[Outro]
