Intro: C Csus4 (4X)
C Am Em
Crimson flames tied through my ears
F G C
Rollin' high and mighty trap
C Am Em
Countless fire on flaming road
F G
Using ideas as my maps
Am Em
"We'll meet on edges, soon," said I
F G
Proud 'neath heated brow.
C Am Em
Ah, but I was so much older then,
F G C
I'm younger than that now.
C Csus4 (2X)
C Am Em
Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth
F G C
"Rip down all hate," I screamed
C Am Em
Lies that life is black and white
F G
Spoke from my skull. I dreamed
Am Em
Romantic flanks of Musketeers
F G
Foundationed deep, somehow.
C Am Em
Ah, but I was so much older then,
F G C
I'm younger than that now.
C Csus4 (2X)
C Am Em
In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand
F G C
At the mongrel dogs who teach
C Am Em
Fearing not I'd become my enemy
F G
In the instant that I preach
Am Em
Existence led by confusion boats
F G
Mutiny from stern to bow.
C Am Em
Ah, but I was so much older then,
F G C
I'm younger than that now.
C Csus4 (2X)

C Am Em
Ah, but I was so much older then,
F G C
I'm younger than that now.
C Csus4 (2X)
C Am Em
My guard stood hard when abstract threats
F G C
Too noble to neglect
C Am Em
Deceived me into thinking
F G
I had something to protect
Am Em
Good and bad, I define these terms
F G
Quite clear, no doubt, somehow.
C Am Em
Ah, but I was so much older then,
F G C
I'm younger than that now.
