I remember we were standing on a street in the rain
[g#m] [f#m]
Downtown where none of us will be able to afford to live again
[f#m] [g#m]
You were looking for some cigarettes in your purse and you cursed
[g#m] [f#m]
And I fell in love to the sound of that obscene and lovely word
[f#m] [g#m]
You were older, you were vicious, I was young and not suspicious
[g#m] [f#m]
That I was being f**ked around
[f#m] [g#m] [g#m] [f#m]
I was I was I won't I don't want to talk about this now
Until you see my face ten years don't seem like a long time
[f#m] [f#m] [g#m] [g#m] [f#m]
But I'm older now than you were then when I was your younger man
[f#m] [g#m] [g#m] [f#m] (horns)
[f#m] [g#m]
I remember we were running from who you left before me
[g#m] [f#m]
I remember being dumb and drunk and happy
[f#m] [g#m]
I remember you squinting as the smoke got in your eyes
[g#m] [f#m]
And being ID'd following you into bars while you stalked other guys
Until you see my face ten years don't seem like a long time
[f#m]
But I'm older now than you were then when I, when I . . .
ba da ba da...

Everyone said it would end badly, it took a while but it did
[g#m] [f#m]
And I hung my head sadly and got used to it
[f#m] [g#m]
I'll see you at some funeral you know I've got a few in mind
[g#m] [f#m]
We'll be fighting but I'll be smiling because remember that time
[c#m] [c#m] [g#m]
I saw your face and thought ten years ain't such a long time
[f#m]
Oh I'm older now than you were then when I...
When I saw your face and thought ten years ain't such a long time
[f#]
But I'm older now than you were then when I was
[f#m] [g#m] [g#m] [f#m]
your younger man your younger ah your younger man
[f#m] [g#] [g#] [f#]
your younger man your younger, ah, your younger man
