[Gm] [Ab]
[Bb] [Eb] Crimson [Gm] flames tied through my ears, rolling [Bb] high in [Eb] mighty traps
[Cm] Pounced with [Gm] fire on [Eb] flaming roads, using [Gm] ideas as [Bb] my maps
[Cm] We'll meet on [Bb]
edges soon [Eb] said I, [Cm] proud me feet it [Bb] brow
[Eb] Oh but I was so [Cm]
much [Eb] older then, I'm younger [Bb] than
[Eb]
[Eb] Half [Cm]-wrecked [Gm] prejudice leaped forth, ripped [Bb] down all [Eb] hate I screamed
Lies that [Gm] life is black and white, [Eb] spoke from my [Bb] soul I dreamed
[Cm] Romantic [Gm] facts of musketeers, [Eb] foundation [Bb] deep somehow
[Eb] Oh but I was so [Gm] much older [Bb] then, I'm younger [Eb]
than
Girls' faces [Gm] formed the forward [Eb] path, from [Bb] phony [Eb] jealousy
To [Gm] memorizing politics [Ab] of ancient [Bb] history
[Cm] Flung down by [Gm] corpse evangelists, [Eb] unthought of [Bb] though somehow
[Eb] Oh but I was so much older then, I'm [Bb] younger than
[Eb]
Myself [Gm] ordained professor's tongue, [Eb] too [Bb] serious [Eb] fool
Spouted out [Gm] that liberty [Eb] is just equality [Bb] in school
[Cm] Equality, [Gm] I spoke the word, [Eb] as if a [Bb] wedding vow
Oh [Gm] but I was [Cm] so much older then, I'm [Bb] younger than
[Eb]
In a [Cm] soldier's stance [Gm] I aimed my hand [Eb] at the [Bb] mongrel [Eb] dogs who teach
Fearing not that I'd [Gm] become my enemy [Ab] in the instant that [Bb] I preach
[Cm] My existence led by [Eb] confusion boats, [Cm] [Gm] uni from [Bb] stern to bow
[Eb] Oh but I was so much older then, [Bb] I'm younger [Eb] than
Yes my guard stood [Gm] hard when abstract threats, [Eb] too [Bb] noble to [Eb] neglect
Deceived me [Gm] into thinking [Cm] I had [Bb] something to protect
[Cm] Good and bad [Gm] I defined these terms, [Eb] quite clear and no doubt [Bb] somehow
[Eb] Oh but I was so much older then, I'm younger than
Oh but I was so [Cm] much [Eb] older then, I'm [Bb] younger than
[Eb]
