[Verse]
        Dbm         Abm             A                B      E    
Crimson flames tied through my ears rollin' high and mighty traps
             Dbm     Abm           A                 B   
Pounced with fire on flaming roads using ideas as my maps


[Chorus]
Dbm                 Abm         A                   B   
We'll meet on edges soon said I proud 'neath heated brow
E               A          E        A       B         E  
Ah but I was so much older then I'm younger than that now


[Verse]
Dbm7                  Abm              A        B      E       
Halfwracked prejudice leaped forth rip down all hate I screamed
          Dbm     Abm             A                     B      
Lies that life is black and white spoke from my skull I dreamed
Dbm               Abm        A                 B7     
Romantic facts of musketeers foundationed deep somehow
   E                 A     E        A                 E  
Ah but I was so much older then I'm younger than that now
             Dbm7       Abm          A          B        E
Girls' faces formed the forward path from phony jealousy ■
   Dbm7       Abm7     Abm    A       B      
To memorizing politics ■   of ancient history


[Chorus]
Dbm                  Abm         A                          
Flung down by corpse evangelists unthought of though somehow
B  E                 A     E    A   E       B    E       
Ah but I was so much older then I'm younger than that now

[Verse]
  Dbm7         Abm7        Abm    A   B          E   
A selfordained professor's tongue too serious to fool
        Dbm      Abm             A           B     
Spouted out that liberty is just equality in school
Dbm        Abm               A            B  
Equality I spoke the word as if a wedding vow
   E                 A     E    A   B                 E  
Ah but I was so much older then I'm younger than that now


[Chorus]
               Dbm      Abm                  A                B    
In a soldier's stance I aimed my hand at the mongrel dogs who teach
            E                  Dbm7  Abm        A              B     
Fearing not that I'd become my enemy ■   in the instant that I preach
   Dbm              Abm             A                    B  
My existence led by confusion boats mutiny from stern to bow
         E             A     E        A       B    E         
Ah but I ■ was so much older then I'm younger than ■ that now


[Verse]
                   Dbm       Abm                  A     B  E       Esus4
Yes my guard stood hard when abstract threats too noble to neglect ■    
E           Dbm7 Abm            A            B      
Deceived me into thinking I had something to protect


[Chorus]
Dbm            Abm                A                    B      
Good and bad I define these terms quite clear no doubt somehow
   E                 A     E        A       B E              
Ah but I was so much older then I'm younger ■ ■ than that now
