[Verse 1]
[D]Cri[G]mso[D]n f[G]lam[D]es[G][D][G][D]
[Bm]tied throu[F#m]gh my ears
[G]Rollin' high and [A]mighty [D]traps
Countless [Bm]with fire on [F#m]flaming roads
Using [G]ideas as my [A]maps
We'll [Bm]meet on edges, [F#m]soon, said I
[G]Proud 'neath heated [A]brow

[Verse 2]
Ah, but [D]I was so much o[G]lder t[D]hen
I'm [G]younger [A]than that
[D]now[G][D][G]
[D]Half-wracked prejudice
pre[Bm]judice [F#m]leaped forth
Rip [G]down all [A]hate, I [D]screamed
Lies that [Bm]life is [F#m]black and white
[G]Spoke from my skull I [A]dreamed
Ro[Bm]mantic facts of [F#m]mus
[G]keteers
Foundationed deep, [A]somehow
Ah, but [D]I was so m[G]uch older t[D]hen
I'm [G]younger [A]than that now
[D][G]

[Verse 3]
[D][G]
In a sol[D]dier's stance,
[Bm]I aime[F#m]d my hand
At the [G]mongrel [A]dogs who [D]teach
Fearing not that I'd
[Bm]become my en[F#m]emy
In the [G]instant that I [A]preach
[Bm]Sisters fled by con[F#m]fusion boats
[G]Mutiny from stern to [A]bow
Ah, but [D]I was so much o[G]lder t[D]hen
[G]I'm younger than that now

[Verse 4]
[D]Ah, but[G][D][G][D][Bm][F#m][G][A][D][Bm][F#m]
[G][A]
[Bm]I wa[F#m]s so m[G]uch [A]ol[D]der then[G][D]
I'm [G]younger [A]than [G]that now
[D][G][Dsus4]

[Verse 5]
[D][G]
My [D]guard stood [Bm]hard
when [F#m]abstract threats
Too [G]noble [A]to neglect
[D]Deceived me int[Bm]o thinking[F#m]
I had [G]something to protect
[A]Goo[Bm]d and bad,
I [F#m]define these terms
Quite [G]clear, no doubt, [A]somehow
Ah, but [D]I was so much o[G]lder t[D]hen
I'm [G]younger [A]than that now
