[Verse 1]
EI'm not as good as I used to be
At the F#mlate nights but just look at me
I'm F#m7/C#staking a claim in a Byoung man's game toEnight
EIs it something that my old heart fears
F#mMistimed chances, lost years
That means I'm C#mtaking aim at a Byoung man's game toEnight?
[Break]
C7One more chance to leave a mark
B7susImagining the answer's in the dark
B7susSuch a simple step into the smoke and the light toC#7susnight
[Verse 2]
EBut who'd have thought I'd have turned this page?
Should I F#mact this out or act my age?

Am I happy I came to the young man's game
Where the C#mbouncers know me by my Bname toEnight?

B7susOh, I could work this room, I could make some noise
C#7susLet's hear it for the girls and for the boys
B7susFor a moment we're the same in the young man's game toC#7susnight
B7susWe're drinking JaÃ«gerbombs, but we're still on our feet
C#7susHeroes in a wild conceit
B7susFingering fame in the young man's game toC#7susnight
[Verse 3]
EBut every mirror just tells the time
F#mCan you name a great fighter over forty-nine?
I should C#mdouse my flame for the Byoung man's game toEsusnight
ETake off this paper crown
F#mAnd put these violins down
And renC#mounce my claim on the Byoung man's game toEnight
