[Intro 1]
[D][Dsus4][D][Dsus4][D][Dsus4][D][Dsus4]

[Verse 1]
[D]Crim
son [Bm]flames tie [F#m]through my ears,
rolling [G]high on [A]mighty traps
[D]Pat[Dsus4]h s of fi[D]re[Bm]
and [F#m]flam ing roads,
using [G]ideas as my [A]maps
We'll [Bm]meet on Egypt soon,
[F#m]said I,
[G]Proudneath the heated [A]brow
Ah, but [D]I was so much o[G]lder then
[D]I'm you[G]nger tha[A]n that now[D][Dsus4][D]
[Dsus4]Half -wra[D]cked pre
[Bm]judice [F#m]leaped forth
Ripped [G]down all [A]hate, I [D]screamed
[Dsus4]Lies that[D] life[Bm]
is [F#m]black and white
spoke from [G]my skull, I [A]dreamed
[Bm]Romantic facts of [F#m]mus keteers,
found[G]ations deep some[A]how
But [D]I was so much o[G]lder t[D]hen,
I'm [G]younger [A]than that [D]now[Dsus4][D]
[Dsus4]In a sold[D]ier's stance[Bm]
I [F#m]aimed my hand
at the [G]mongrel dog[A]s who teach
[D]Fearing not I'd becom[Bm]e my ene[F#m]my
in the [G]instant that I'd [A]reached
[Bm]Sisters led by con[F#m]fusion,
boats [G]near'd me from stern to [A]bow
But [D]I was so much o[G]lder then,
[D]I'm you[G]nger tha[A]n that now[Bm]
But [D]I was so much o[G]lder t[D]hen,
I'm [G]younger than [A]that [D]now[Dsus4][D][Dsus4][D][Bm]
[F#m][G][A][D][Dsus4][D][Bm][F#m][G][A][Bm]
[F#m][G][A]
[D]I was so much o[G]lder t[D]hen,
I'm [G]younger [A]than I am [Bm]now[B]
My [E]gut stood [C#m]hard
when ab[G#m]stract threats
were [A]noble [B]to neglect
[E]Dec[Esus4]eived me in[E]to thinkin[C#m]g[G#m]
I had [A]something to pro[B]tect
[C#m]Good and bad are d[G#m]efined,
these terms quite [A]clear,
no doubt some[B]how
But [E]I was so much o[A]lder t[E]hen,
[A]I'm younger [B]than that [C#m]now
I [E]was so much [A]older then,
[E]I'm you[A]nger tha[B]n that now[C#m]
But [E]I was so much o[A]lder then,
[E]I'm you[A]nger tha[B]n that now[E]
[Esus4][E][Esus4][E][A]
