[G#m] Prejudice leapfrogged, [A] ripped down [E] on hate I screamed.
Lies [C#m] that [G#m] life is black and white, [A] spoke from my skull [B] I dreamed.
[C#m] Romantic planks [G#m] of musketeers, [A] foundation deep, [B] some high.
[E] I was so [A] much older [E] then, I'm younger [B] [E] than that now.

My [C#m] guard stood hard [G#m] when abstract threats, [A] too noble [B] to [E] neglect.

[C#m] Good and bad, [G#m] I defined these terms, [A] quite clear, no doubt, [B] somehow.
