[D] [G] [D] [G]
[D] [Bm] Crimson flames [F#m] tied through my ears, [G] rolling [A] high in mighty [D] traps
Housed with [Bm] fire [F#m] on flaming roads, [G] using ideas as [A] my maps
[Bm] Won't meet on edges [F#m] soon, said I, [G] proud, neath heated [A] brow
[D] Ah, but I was so much [G] older [D] then, [G] I'm younger [A] than that [D] now
[Bm] Hefrak prejudice [F#m] leapfault, [G] rip down [A] all hate I [D] scream
Lies [Bm] that life [F#m] is black and white, [G] spoke from my skull [A] I dream
[Bm]
Romantic facts [F#m] of musketeers, [G] foundation deep [A] somehow
[D] Ah, but I was so [G] much [D] older then, [G] I'm younger [A] than [D] that [G] now
[D]
Girls' faces [Bm] form [F#m] the forward [G] path, from [A] phony [D] jealousy
To [Bm] [F#m] memorizing politics [G] of ancient [A] history
[Bm] Flung down by cops, [F#m]
evangelists, [G] unthought of though [A] somehow
[D] Ah, but I was so [G] much [D] older then, [G] I'm [A] younger than [D] that now
A self [Bm] -ordained [F#m] professor's tongue, [G] too [A] serious [D] to fool
[Bm]
Sprouted out [F#m] that liberty is [G] just equality [A] in school
[Bm]
Equality, [F#m] I spoke their word, [G] as if a wedding [A] vow
[D] Ah, but I was so [G] much [D] older then, [G] I'm younger [A] than [D] that now
In a [Bm] soldier's stance, [F#m] I aimed my hand [G] at the [A] mongrel dogs [D] who teach
[Bm] Fearing that I'd become [F#m] my enemy [G] in the instant that [A] I preach
[Bm] My existence led [F#m] by confusion boats, [G] mutiny from stern [A] to bow
[D] Ah, but I was so [G] much [D] older then, [G] I'm younger [A] than [D] that now
Yes, my God [Bm] stood hard [F#m] when abstract threats, [G] too noble [A] to [D] neglect
[Bm] Deceived me into [F#m] thinking I [G] had something to [A] protect
[Bm] Good and bad, I [F#m] define these terms quite [G] clear, no doubt [A] somehow
[D] Ah, but I was so [G] much [D] older then, [G] I'm younger [A] than [D] that now
