Young Mans Game
Ben Watt
B7sus = 777xxx C#7sus = 999xxx [Intro] [Verse 1] I’m not as good as I used to be At the late nights but just look at me I’m staking a claim in a young man’s game tonight Is it something that my old heart fears Mistimed chances lost years That means I’m taking aim at a young man’s game tonight? [Break] 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] But who’d have thought I’d have turned this page? Should I act this out or act my age? Am I happy I came to the young man’s game Where the bouncers know me by my name tonight? [Instrumental] [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] But every mirror just tells the time 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 Take off this paper crown And put these violins down And renounce my claim on the young man’s game tonight [Outro]
