[Verse 1]

      G
Yesterday
                 C                G
I drove past the house we used to live in
     C                G
When you were waitin' tables
      D
I was working nine to five
         G
Do you remember
        C                G
All the snow we got that winter?
     C                G
Your car could barely make it
       D
Up the drive

          G         C
We had to skimp and save
            G
To pay that rent
           C                G
But it was worth every last cent
             D
Just for the view
            G
One bedroom house
        C              G
Big bay windows facing south
          C              G
Watch the sunrise on the mountain
      D
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

[Verse 2]

            G
We couldn't wait
  C               G
A year was all we needed
   C                  G
To know the love we'd found
              D
Was something rare
            G
We said our vows
     C              G
On a weekday on the mountain
       C             G
With a bottle of champagne
    D
And the book of common prayers

               G
And that first Christmas
                 C               G
You'd bring home bottles of good vintage
         C            G
That the table didn't finish
         D
And we'd drink a midnight glass
         G
And fall asleep
       C                 G
By the soft light of the tree
         C               G
With the dog down by our feet
        D
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]
       C
Now it looks like
        G                  D
Someone finally bought the place
                C
They'll tear it down
               G              D
And build some million dollar mansion to their taste
                 C
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
