I was younger than you are now
                          Fm
When I was given my first command
                             Dm7(5-)
I led my men straight into a massacre
  G7                          Cm 
I witnessed their deaths firsthand

                     Eb7M 
I made every mistake
                      Fm
I felt the shame rise in me
                   Dm7(5-) 
And even now I lie awake

Let me tell you what I wish I'd known
                                Fm
When I was young and dreamed of glory

You have no control
Dm7(5-)
Who lives, who dies
    G7               Cm
Who tells your story

                     Eb7M
I know that we can win
                              Fm
I know that greatness lies in you
                          Dm7(5-)
But remember from here on in
