Capo di fret 2

D Dsus4 4x

D            Bm              F#m
Crimson flames tied through my ears,
          G              A         D
rollin' high and mighty traps
                Bm         F#m
Countless fire on flaming roads,
            G                A
using ideas as my maps
           Bm                   F#m
"We'll meet on edges, soon," said I,
G                                A
proud 'neath heated brow.
            D                      G       D
Ah, but I was so much older then,
        G             A          D
I'm younger than that now.

D                    Bm            F#m
Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth,
        G             A         D
"rip down all hate," I screamed
               Bm      F#m
Lies that life is black and white,
G                                   A
spoke from my skull, I dreamed
Bm                        F#m
Romantic facts of musketeers,
        G                              A
foundationed deep, somehow.
             D                     G       D
Ah, but I was so much older then,
      G             A            D
I'm younger than that now.

          D          Bm         F#m
In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand,
             G          A             D
at the mongrel dogs who teach
                            Bm                 F#m
Fearing not that I'd become my enemy,
           G                   A
in the instant that I preach
       Bm                        F#m
My pathway led by confusion boats,
G                                 A
mutiny from stern to bow.
             D                      G     D
Ah, but I was so much older then,
       G            A              D
I'm younger than that now.

D Bm F#m G A D D Bm F#m G A Bm F#m G A

             D                      G        D
Ah, but I was so much older then,
        G            A           D
I'm younger than that now.

               D                Bm              F#m
Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats,
          G    A      D
too noble to neglect
                      Bm   F#m
Deceived me into thinking,
           G                        A
I had something to protect
D              Bm         F#m
Good and bad, I define these terms,
           G                               A
quite clear, no doubt, somehow?
               D                   G        D
Ah, but I was so much older then,
       G            A             D
I'm younger than that now.
