[Intro 1]
[D][G][Em][D][G]

[Verse 1]
[D]Crimson flames
tied through [F#m]my ears
Rollin' [G]high and [A]mighty [D]traps[G]
[D]Pounced with fire on flam[F#m]ing roads
Us[G]ing ideas as my [Asus4]maps[A]

[Verse 2]
"We'll [Bm]meet on edges, [F#m]soon," said I
[G]Proud 'neath [Em]heated [A]brow
Ah, but [F#m]I was so m[D]uch olde[G]r then[D]
I'm [Em]younger [A]than that [D]now
[G][D][G]

[Verse 3]
[D]Half- racked prejudice [F#m]leaped forth
"Rip [G]down all [A]hate," I [D]screamed[G]
[D]Lies that [Bm]life is black [F#m]and white
[G]Spoke from my skull, [A]I dreamed

[Verse 4]
Ro[Bm]mantic flanks of mus
[F#m]keteers[G]
[Em]Foundationed deep, some[A]how
Ah, but [D]I was so much o[G]lder t[A]hen[D]
I'm [Em]younger [A]than that [D]now
[Em]

[Verse 5]
[D]
[G]In a sol[D]dier's stance, I [F#m]aimed my hand
At [G]the mongrel [A]dogs who [D]teach
[G]Fearing [D]that I'd become my en[F#m]emy
In the [G]instant that I [A]preach

[Verse 6]
My ex[Bm]istence led by con[F#m]fusion boats
[G]Mutiny from [Em]stern to [A]bow
[G]Ah, but [D]I was so much o[G]lder t[A]hen[Bm]
I'm [G]younger [A]than that [D]now

[Interlude 1]
[G][Em][D][G][D][F#m][G][A][D][G][A][D][Bm][F#m]
[G]
[Em][Asus4][A][Bm][F#m][G][Em][Asus4][A][D][G][A][D]
[G][A][D][G][Em][D][Em]

[Verse 7]
My [D]guard stood [F#m]hard when
abstract threats
Too [G]noble [F#m]to neglect
[D]Dec[G]eived[D] me into thinking[F#m]
I had [G]something to protect
[A]

[Verse 8]
[Bm]Good and bad, I [F#m]define these terms
Quite [G]clear, no doubt, some[Asus4]how[A]
Ah, but [D]I was so much o[G]lder t[A]hen[D]
I'm [G]younger [A]than that [D]now
[Bm][A]

[Verse 9]
[D]I was so much o[G]lder t[A]hen[D]
[Em]I'm younger [G]than t[A]hat
[D]now
[G][D][Em][G][Bm][G]
