I was younger than you are now 
                          Fm 
When I was given my first command 
                             Dm7(5-) 
I led my men straight into a massacre 
  G7                          Cm  
I witnessed their deaths firsthand 

                     Eb7M  
I made every mistake 
                      Fm 
I felt the shame rise in me 
                   Dm7(5-)  
And even now I lie awake

Knowing history has its eyes on me 
G7               Cm      Eb7M  Fm  Dm7(5-)  G7 
History has it's eyes on me 

Cm                              Eb7M 
Let me tell you what I wish I'd known 
                                Fm 
When I was young and dreamed of glory 

You have no control 
Dm7(5-) 
Who lives, who dies 
    G7               Cm 
Who tells your story 

                     Eb7M 
I know that we can win 
                              Fm 
I know that greatness lies in you 
                          Dm7(5-) 
But remember from here on in
