Don Henley A Younger Man Lyrics

INTRO: G C G ? Gmaj7 ? C? G
VERSE 1:
G C/G G Gsus4 ? G
I know you're disappointed, I can see it in your eyes
This isn't what you wanted, and now you realize
G C/G Em Em/D ? C
I ain't no knight in shining armor, who comes a'ridin' 'cross the lea
G D7 G ? Gmaj7 ? C? G
You're lookin' for a younger man, not me
VERSE 2:
G C/G G Gsus4 ? G
Now, the merchants in the marketplace, they're selling fantasy
It's a trick of light and shadow, it's not reality
G C/G Em Em/D ? C
It's just a faded photograph of the man I used to be
You're lookin' for a younger man, not me
BRIDGE:
G/A G/B C Cm G Gsus4 ? G
I knew the day I met you, it was never gonna last
You're an angel from the future, I'm an old devil from the past
G C/G Em Em/D ? C
So, trust me when I tell you, this is the way it's meant to be
You're lookin' for a younger man, not me
SOLO: 2nd half of first verse chords
G C/G Em Em/D ? C
G D7 G ? Gmaj7 ? C? G
VERSE 3:
G C/G G Gsus4 ? G
If you believe in better days ahead, for this crazy human race
That we will somehow be delivered, by goodness and by grace
G C/G Em Em/D ? C
And if you're lookin' for believers, in faith and hope and charity
G/D D7 G Am ? G/B
Then, you're lookin' for a younger man, not me
You're lookin' for a younger man, not me
Cm G D7 G ? Gmaj7 ? C? G
You're lookin' for a younger man, not me
