Capo II
[Intro]
D Dsus4 x4
[Verse 1]
D Bm F#m Crimson flames tied through my ears, G A D Dsus4 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.
[Chorus]
D G D Ah, but I was so much older then, G A D Dsus4 D Dsus4 I'm younger than that now.
[Verse 2]
D Bm F#m Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth, G A D Dsus4 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.
[Chorus]
D G D Ah, but I was so much older then, G A D Dsus4 D Dsus4 I'm younger than that now.
[Verse 3]
D Bm F#m In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand, G A D Dsus4 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.
[Chorus]
D G D Ah, but I was so much older then, G A D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D I'm younger than that now.
[Instrumental]

D Bm F#m G A

[Chorus]
D G D Ah, but I was so much older then, G A D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D I'm younger than that now.
[Verse 4]
D Bm F#m Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats, G A D Dsus4 D too noble to neglect Bm F#m Deceived me into thinking, G A I had something to protect
[Verse 5]
D Bm F#m Good and bad, I define these terms, G A quite clear, no doubt, somehow?
[Chorus]
D G D Ah, but I was so much older then, G A D I'm younger than that now.
