G C/G G Gsus4 - G
I know you're disappointed, I can see it in your eyes
G C/G Dsus4 D
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
G C/G Dsus4 D
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
G D7 G
You're lookin' for a younger man, not me

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
G D7 G C/G G
You're lookin' for a younger man, not me

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
C G D7 C
You're lookin' for a younger man, not me

You're lookin' for a younger man, not me
