[Intro] Em [Verse 1]
Em
Thought I was rid of you once

       F                  Em
For a couple coins on the table
Forgetting when you left that day
     F                       Em
You were young and angry and able
I'd hoped I'd seen the last of you
 F                       Em
No more would I fetch or cower
But when I fed you for a tip that day
     F                         Em
You were young and hungry for power
[Chorus]
        F               Em
Then a chill came on a beam of sun

F           Em
Natural as a cancer

  F                       Em
You would never stop 'til all was won

      F                    Em
The young man with all the answers
[Instrumental] Em F Em F Em F Em F Em [Verse 2]
Em
That shape of love on every face

F                    Em
The ghost of loss inside you
Everyone else was just as lost
     F                   Em
And it's sad because you never knew
Now history is on your side
F             Em
Who am I to deny it?
A fiefdom for your fragile pride
F                    Em
And who would dare defy it?
[Chorus]
        F               Em
Then a chill came on a beam of sun

F           Em
Natural as a cancer

  F                       Em
You would never stop 'til all was won

      F                    Em
The young man with all the answers
