Young Mans Game

E  F#m  C#m  B  E

[Verse 1]

E
I'm not as good as I used to be
       F#m
At the late nights but just look at me
    F#m7/C#              B                  E
I'm staking a claim in a young man's game tonight
E
Is it something that my old heart fears
F#m
Mistimed chances, lost years
               C#m             B                  E
That means I'm taking aim at a young man's game tonight?

[Break]

C7
One more chance to leave a mark
B7sus
Imagining the answer's in the dark
B7sus                                             C#7sus
Such a simple step into the smoke and the light tonight

[Verse 2]

E
But who'd have thought I'd have turned this page?
         F#m
Should I act this out or act my age?
     F#m[7]/C#           B
Am I happy I came to the young man's game
          C#m                    B      E
Where the bouncers know me by my name tonight?

[Instrumental]
E  F#m  C#m  B  E

[Break]

B7sus
Oh, I could work this room, I could make some noise
C#7sus
Let's hear it for the girls and for the boys
B7sus                                                 C#7sus
For a moment we're the same in the young man's game tonight
B7sus
We're drinking Jaëgerbombs, but we're still on our feet
C#7sus
Heroes in a wild conceit
B7sus                                    C#7sus
Fingering fame in the young man's game tonight

[Verse 3]

E
But every mirror just tells the time
F#m
Can you name a great fighter over forty-nine?
         C#m                    B                  Esus
I should douse my flame for the young man's game tonight
E
Take off this paper crown
F#m
And put these violins down
       C#m                   B                  E
And renounce my claim on the young man's game tonight
