I tabbed this out with a piano, trying my best to map out a chord structure that would fit under all of the
jazz flourishes of the original song.

[Verse 1]
   Cm            G           Ab       G  
I stare at the stars and the sky up above
      Ab           Fm       G7
And think 'what am I made of?'
       Fm  Gm    C         Fm          Bb 
Am I full of sorrow? Am I hurt and pained?
    Fm      Bb            G7
Or am I filled... with love?
   Cm        G           Ab       G  
I walk by myself on the streets below
    Ab         Fm       G7
And ask every child I know
          Fm   Gm    C         Fm          Bb 
"Do you think tomorrow will bring sun or rain?
       Fm      Bb            Cm Gb7 B7
Which one of these will show?"

[Chorus]
    Ab                    Db          Dbmaj7
I can't say goodbye to yesterday, my friend
 Bbm7      Eb  C           C7  
I keep holding on 'till the end
 Bbm7         Eb7             Ab   Abmaj7
Out of the darkness there is no other way
           Dbmaj7    Bbm7       C7 
Than the light leading to yesterday

[Verse 2]
      Cm              G           Ab       G  
It's there that I'll find, Inner peace not war
     Ab           Fm       G7  
And dreams that I let slip away
      Fm   Gm    C         Fm          Bb
I'll find the joyfulness I'm looking for
    Fm      Bb     Cm
Way back in yesterday

[Verse 3]
   Cm              G           Ab       G 
Why can't each of us in the world ever see
      Ab           Fm       G7  
The best things in life are free
          Fm  Gm    C         Fm          Bb  
Little sounds of laughter, a warm hug, a smile
   Fm       Bb     G7
A kiss from you to me
   Cm          G       Ab       G  
I fall to my knees, I cry and I cry
 Ab          Fm       G7
Love, do not pass me by
      Fm  Gm   C         Fm          Bb  
Happy ever after, please stay for a while
     Fm    Bb        CmGb7 B7
Make time refuse to fly

[Chorus]
   Ab                    Db          Dbmaj7
I can't say goodbye to yesterday, my friend
        Bbm7     Eb  C          C7
'cause I know how good it has been
 Bbm7      Eb7           Ab           Abmaj7
Facing forever, here I stand, come what may
        Dbmaj7     Bbm7       C7
In the old, in the new yesterday

[Verse 4]
        Cm            G           Ab       G   
It's there that I'll find, inner peace, not war
      Ab          Fm       G7  
And dreams that I let slip away
        Fm     Gm   C     Fm          Bb
I'll find the joyfulness I'm looking for
    Fm      Bb     Cm
Way back in yesterday
