capo 2 — sounds 2 semitones higherIntro
D Dsus4 x4
Verse 1
Crimson flames tied through my ears,
rollin' high and mighty traps
Countless fire on flaming roads,
using ideas as my maps
"We'll meet on edges, soon," said I,
proud 'neath heated brow.
Chorus
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.
Verse 2
Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth,
"rip down all hate," I screamed
Lies that life is black and white,
spoke from my skull, I dreamed
Romantic facts of musketeers,
foundationed deep, somehow.
Chorus
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.
Verse 3
In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand,
at the mongrel dogs who teach
Fearing not that I'd become my enemy,
in the instant that I preach
My pathway led by confusion boats,
mutiny from stern to bow.
Chorus
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.
Instrumental
Chorus
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.
Verse 4
Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats,
too noble to neglect
Deceived me into thinking,
I had something to protect
Verse 5
Good and bad, I define these terms,
quite clear, no doubt, somehow?
Chorus
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.
