[D] [G] [D] [G]
[D] [G] [D] [G]
[D] [Bm] Crimson flames [F#m] tied through my ears, [G] rolling [A] high in mighty [D] [G] drafts.
[D]
I [Bm] pounced with [F#m] fire on flaming roads, [G] using ideas [A] as my maps.
[Bm] We'll meet on edges, [F#m] sunset eye, [G] proudly [A] petered brow.
[D] Oh, but I was so [G] much [D] older then, [G] I'm younger [A] than [D] that now.
Half [Bm]-wrecked [F#m] prejudice leap forth, [G] rip [A] down all hate [D] I scream.
Lies that life [F#m] is black and white, [G] spoke from [A] my skull I dream.
[Bm] Romantic flights [F#m] of musketeers, [G] foundation deep [A] somehow.
[D] Oh, but I was so much older then, I'm younger [A] than [D] that now.
In a [Bm] soldier's stance, [F#m] I ate my hands, [G] had to [A] mongrel dogs [D] to teach.
[G]
[D] Fearing not [Bm] that I'd become [F#m] my enemy, [G] in the instant that [A] I breached.
[Bm] My pathway [F#m] led by confusion, roads, [G] mutiny from [A] stern to bow.
[D] Oh, but I was so much older then, I'm younger [A] than [D] that now.

[A] Oh, [D] but I was so [G] much [D] older then, [G] I'm younger [A] than [D] that now.
[G]
[D] Yes, my gods stood hard, [F#m] but abstract threats [G] do [A] no rule to [D] neglect.
Deceive [Bm] me into [F#m] thinking, but [G] I had something to [A] protect.
[Bm] Good and bad, [F#m] I define these terms, [G] quite clear, no [A] doubt somehow.
[D] Oh, but I was so [G] much [D] older then, [G] I'm younger [A] than [D] that now.
