(C)    (Am)        (Em) 
Crimson flames tied through my ears 
       (F)      (G)    (C) 
Rolling high and mighty traps 
         (Am)    (Em) 
Countless fire on flaming roads 
     (F)         (G) 
Using ideas as my maps 
       Am             Em 
'We'll meet on edges, soon', said I 
F                   G 
Proud 'neath heated brow 
        C             F     C 
Ah, but I was so much older then  
    F       G         C 
I'm younger than that now 


             Am   Em 
Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth 
     F        G        C 
'Rip down all hate', I screamed 
          Am      Em 
Lies that life is black and white 
F                      G 
Spoke from my skull, I dreamed 
  Am              Em 
Romantic facts of musketeers 
    F                G 
Foundation deep, somehow 
        C             F     C 
Ah, but I was so much older then 
    F       G         C 
I'm younger than that now 


             Am         Em 
Girls' faces formed the forward path 
     F      G     C 
From phoney jealousy 
        Am    Em 
To memorizing politics 
   F            G 
Of ancient history 
      Am              Em 
Flung down by corpse evangelists 
  F                       G 
Unthought of, though, somehow 
        C             F     C 
Ah, but I was so much older then 
    F       G         C 
I'm younger than that now

Ah, but I was so much older then 
    F       G         C 
I'm younger than that now 


               Am        Em 
My guard stood hard when abstract threats 
    F     G     C 
Too noble to neglect 
            Am   Em 
Deceived me into thinking 
      F               G 
I had something to protect 
C        Am       Em 
Good and bad, I define these terms 
      F                    G 
Quite clear, no doubt, somehow 
        C             F     C 
Ah, but I was so much older then 
    F       G         C 
I'm younger than that now 


OUTRO:

I'm younger than that now 
    F       G         C 
I'm younger than that now
