Em C                   G
Oh, what if it was all true?
            Em   C
What if the holy war is upon us
G                               D
And we're about to see who made who
Em C                    G
Oh, what if we were all wrong?
Em                              C                        G                  D
Maybe we should have learned to shoot to kill instead of learning Van Halen songs


[Chorus]
Em         C            G
Eye aye I, I used to be bold
Em                            C         G                       D
I used to fan myself with the flames of discontent to fight the cold
Em                                     C                       G
I used to throw it right back in their face now I ask how it's sold
D  C            G
I, I used to be bold
F  C            G
I, I used to be bold


[Verse 2]
Em C      G
Oh, is my hair falling out?
             Em               C
I took those little pills for so long
  G              D
I whisper when I shout
Em      C                     G
I can't tell which one I hate more
Em                C                          G              D
The arrogant dumb young opening bands or the cashing in old bores


[Chorus]
Em         C            G
Eye aye I, I used to be bold
Em                            C         G                       D
I used to fan myself with the flames of discontent to fight the cold
Em                                     C                       G
I used to spit it right back in their face now I ask how it's sold
D  C            G
I, I used to be bold
F  C            G
I, I used to be bold


[Bridge]
G                              F
Wouldn't it be nice if we were younger?
                  C                   Cm
We could just get high and sing these songs
G                           F
We could build a quiet life together
                  C             Cm
Laugh at how they all get it so wrong

G
Wouldn't it be nice?
               Am    C
Wouldn't it be nice?
G
Wouldn't it be nice?
               Am    C
Wouldn't it be nice?
               D  C            G
Wouldn't it be nice just to be bold?
F C          G
I used to be bold
