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        
I'm staking a claim in a young 
          E
man's game tonight
E
Is it something that my old heart 
fears
F#m
Mistimed chances, lost years
               C#m             B  
That means I'm taking aim at a 
                E
young man's game tonight?

[Break]

C7
One more chance to leave a mark
B7sus
Imagining the answer's in the dark
B7sus                             
Such a simple step into the smoke 
                C#7sus
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                   
Where the bouncers know me by my 
 B      E
name tonight?

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                             
For a moment we're the same in the
                    C#7sus
 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                             
Fingering fame in the young man's 
       C#7sus
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                   
I should douse my flame for the 
 B                  Esus
young man's game tonight
E
Take off this paper crown
F#m
And put these violins down
       C#m                   B    
And renounce my claim on the young
              E
 man's game tonight
