Written by Robert Clarkson
        G                        C                  D7                  G 
Verse: All that remains of my hope is in chains in a prison I built in myself
        G                        C 
       I'd try to escape, but feel it's too late
        D7 
       So I sit in these walls that I made
                                         G 
       The result of ten thousand yesterdays

        G                        C 
Verse: Staring out of my mind looking at you
        G                                                    D7 
       Think you know what's going on, but you don't have a clue
        G                      C   
       Worry about yourself I will be ok
        D7                                  G 
       As soon as I forget ten thousand yesterdays

         C                              G 
Chorus: I'm gonna break out of these walls someday
         C                                     D7 
        Gotta find the strength build it up someway
         C                              G             Em 
        Ten thousand yesterdays have hung on too long
         C                     D7             C         G 
        I'm going to win the fight I'm going to be strong

        G                             C 
Verse: What keeps me hanging on to past mistakes I've made
        G                               D7      
       They no longer have a bearing on my life today
        G                          C 
       I just can get around to throwing them away
        G                            G 
       Decisions of ten thousand yesterdays

         C                              G 
Chorus: I'm gonna break out of these walls someday
         C                                     D7 
        Gotta find the strength build it up someway
         C                          G             Em 
        Ten thousand yesterdays have hung on too long
         C                   DY             C         G 
        I'm going to win the fight I'm going to be strong
         G                                C 
Ending: Cause yesterday's a place I'll never get back to
         D7                                          G 
        Decisions that were made has created someone new
         G                               C   
        I used to think that I should go my own way
         D7                    C                    G  
        But I learned different ten thousand yesterdays
