Tom: E
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
