[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][G][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Crimson [Bm]flames
flash [F#m]through my ears,
[G]rolling high in [A]mighty [D]traps
Bounce with [Bm]fire on flam[F#m]ing rods,
using [G]ideas as my [A]mask
We'll [Bm]meet on [F#m]Edgerton, said I,
[G]proudly Peter [A]Brown
Ah, but [D]I was s[A]o m[F#m]uch
[Bm]shorter [D]then,
I'm [G]younger [D]than [A]that now[D]
Half [Bm]-wrecked, wrenched,
-and [F#m]-sleep, bored
[G]We're down on [A]hate, I [D]scream
Lies that [Bm]life is [F#m]black and white
Smoke [G]from my skull, I [A]dream
[Bm]Romantic flanks of mus[F#m]keteers
Founda[G]tion deeds some[A]how
Ah, but [D]I'm so [F#m]much o[Bm]lder than
[A]I'm [G]younger [A]than that [D]now[Bm][F#m][G]
[A][D][Bm][F#m][G][A][Bm][F#m]
[G][A]
Oh, but [D]I was s[A]o m[D]uch s[Bm]horter
then
[A]I'm[D] you[G]nger tha[A]n that now[D]
[A]In a [D]soldier's [Bm]stance
when I hang [F#m]my head
At the [G]mongrel dog[A]s who p[D]reach
Then I'd [Bm]become like the [F#m]enemy
In the [G]instance that I [A]preach
Like [Bm]Beth when you let my
confu[F#m]sion go
You'd [G]leap from the stern about
[A]Oh, but I w[D]as so much[A]
[Bm]shorter [A]then,
I'm [G]younger [A]than that [D]now
My gut stood [Bm]hard with ab[F#m]stract breath,
too [G]re lated [A]to [D]reason
Ditching in[Bm]to thinki[F#m]ng
I had [G]something to pro[A]tect
Well, [Bm]good and bad,
how do you [F#m]find these terms?
Right, [G]clear, no doubt, some[A]how
Ah, but [D]I was s[A]o m[F#m]uch ol[Bm]der then
[A]I'm you[G]nger tha[A]n that now
[D]Ah, but I was so muc[F#m]h olde[Bm]r then
[A]I'm you[G]nger tha[A]n that now
[D]Ah,[A] but I w[D]as so m[A]uch olde[Bm]r then
[A]I'm you[G]nger tha[D]n tha[A]t now
