And He's always at home with his back to the wall.
F G/B C
And he's proud of his scars and the battles he's lost,

And he struggles and bleeds as he hangs on his cross-

LEAD IN: Cmaj7 D G/B C Am7 G/B C
G D
Give a moment or two to the angry young man,
Am7 D
With his foot in his mouth and his heart in his hand.
G D
He's been stabbed in the back, he's been misunderstood,
Am7 D
It's a comfort to know his intentions are good.
F G/B C
And he sits in a room with a lock on the door,
G/B A D
With his maps and his medals laid out on the floor
G D Cmaj7 D G/B C Am7 G/B C
And he likes to be known as the angry young man.
F Gm7
I believe I've passed the age
Bb C
Of consciousness and righteous rage
F Bb
I found that just surviving
C D
was a noble fight.
G Am7
I once believed in causes too,
C D
I had my pointless point of view,
G/B C A
And life went on no matter who was wrong or right.
D
Oh.
G D
And there's always a place for the angry young man,
Am7 D
With his fist in the air and his head in the sand.
G D
And he's never been able to learn from mistakes,
Am7 D
So he can't understand why his heart always breaks.
F G/B C
And his honor is pure and his courage as well,
G/B A D
And he's fair and he's true and he's boring as hell-
G D Cmaj7 D G/B C Am7 G/B C
And he'll go to the grave as an angry old man.
