You [C#m] sent flames [G#m] down through my head,
[A] throwing [B] high and mighty [E] traps.
[C#m] Countless fires [G#m] flaming, roar, [A] you
sing and I can hear the sounds [B] from out.
[C#m] There'll be no legend [G#m] soon, said I,
[A] glad to be defeated [B] proud.
[E] I've allowed so [A] much, oh, [E] and then
[A] I'm younger [B] than that [E] now.
[C#m] Half-bred prejudice, [G#m] leap forth,
[A] rip down [B] all hate, I [E] scream.
[C#m] Lies and lies [G#m] in black and white,
[A] smoke from my skull, I [B] dream.
[C#m] Romantic facts [G#m] of musketeers,
[A] foundation deep [B] somehow.
[E] Now, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.
Girls' [C#m] faces form [G#m] the forward path
[A] of phony [B] jealousy.
[E] You memorize [C#m] in [G#m] politics
of [A] ancient [B] history.
[C#m] Hung down my corpse, [G#m] evangelist,
[A] unthought of, oh, [B] somehow.
But [E] I was so much older then,
I'm younger [F#] than that [E] now.

[A] just equality [B] in school.
[C#m] Equality, [G#m] I spoke the word,
[A] as if I'm waiting [B] now.
[E] Ah, but I was so [A] much younger [E] then,
I'm [B] younger than that [E] now.
And the soldiers [C#m] stand,
[G#m] praying my hand
[A] at the [B] moment of [E] truth.
Let me not [C#m] have become [G#m] my enemy,
[A] be the instant [B] benefit.
[C#m] I insist in live [G#m] my confusion,
but [A] be the [B] protector.
[E] Ah, but I was so much older then,

Yes, my God [C#m] stood hard
[G#m] when abstract threats

Deceive [C#m] me into [G#m] thinking
I had [A] something to [B] protect.
[C#m] Good and bad, [G#m] I defined each term,
[A] quite clear, no [B] doubt, somehow.
[E] But I was so much older then,
I'm younger [B] than [E] that now.
