Tears of Yesterday Hoobastank
I couldn't find a decent chord tab for this song so I decided to figure it out and
create one.
It may or not be 100% accurate but it's pretty damn close!
I used the acoustic version from "Is This The Day?" as a basis but it can also be used
for the "For(N)ever" version as well.
The song is relatively easy to play since it's the same progression for most of the song
and the use of the capo allows for non-complex chords. You just have to listen to the
song for strum timing.
Hope you all enjoy!
Tuning: Standard
Capo: 3rd Fret
(All chords are relative to the capo)
[Intro]
[A] [C]
[A] [C]
[D] [F] [G]
[Cborus]
I [A]write your name in my [C]breath on the window
[A]Sit and watch as it [C]fades away
The [D]painful memo[F]ries
Of the [G]tears of yesterday
[Verse 1]
A <-----((start strumming this chord before the words))
The sky is cold and [C]gray[A]
Just like it was when we [C]both went our separate ways
And the [D]rain won't wash [F]away
All the [G]dirt of my mistakes
[Cborus]
So I [A]write your name in my [C]breath on the window
[A]Sit and watch as it [C]fades away
The [D]painful memo[F]ries
Of the [G]tears of yesterday
[Verse 2]
A <-----((start strumming this chord before the words))
The deafening sound of [C]rain[A]
It's not enough to [C]drown my thoughts to ease the pain
So in[D]stead I'll soak it [F]in
While I [G]stare outside again
[Extended Cborus]
And I [A]write your name in my [C]breath on the window
[A]Sit and watch as it [C]fades away
The [D]painful memo[F]ries
Of the [G]tears of yesterday
I [A]try so hard but I [C]can't seem to let go
I [A]lost so much when you [C]walked away
The [D]painful memo[F]ries
Of the [G]tears of yesterday
[Interlude]
[F] [D]
[F] [D]
[C] [G]
[Bridge]
F <-----((start strumming this chord before the words))
The sun just won't [D]seem to come out[F]
Not since you [D]walked away
Now I [C]cannot escape
I [G]cannot escape the [Bb]rain
The [A]rain[C]
[A] [C]
[Extended Cborus]
So I [A]write your name in my [C]breath on the window
[A]Sit and watch as it [C]fades away
The [D]painful memo[F]ries
Of the [G]tears of yesterday
I [A]try so hard but I [C]can't seem to let go
I [A]lost so much when you [C]walked away
The [D]painful memo[F]ries
Of the [G]tears of yesterday[A] [C]
Yester[A]day[C]
Yester[A]day[C]
[A] [C]
[End on C]
