Intro
C#m
So, so cold and tired...
[Verse 1]
C#m
I hate myself,
B A
more than I ever let on.
B
I'm burned out at twenty-two.
F#m B G#m
I lived too fast and I loved too much and I'll die too young,
C#m
but I chose this cup that I drank from.
B A
Knew what I was getting into.
B F#m
But I couldn't let out what I had to keep in.
B G#m
I'm ashamed of myself and unspeakable sins,
that I've committed, and
[Chorus]
A C#m
I've made mistakes,
B A
but I'll find my way.
B
There's no explanation for,
C#m B A
the things I've failed at before.
B
They can't hold my hand.
C#m B A
It just hurts to be a man,
B C#m
Through the tortures of the damned.
C#m
[Verse]
C#m
If I only had an axe,
B A
I'd sever the ties I've made with the world.
B F#m
Maybe I can be a stranger,
B
in a strange place.
G#m
If I start now, maybe I can be saved.
C#m B
If I only had a mask,
A B
I'd cover these bleeding eyes.
F#m B
They're bloodshot now but they'll be black by dawn.
G#m
If I wake up now, I can be pure again.
[Chorus]
A C#m
I've made mistakes,
B A
but I'll find my way.

They can't hold my hand.
C#m B A
It just hurts to be a man,
B C#m
Through the tortures of the damned.

[Bridge]
Bbdim A
Look at me now, I'm on the tracks with my back
B C#m
toward the last train leaving town. [x4]
[Chorus]
A C#m
I've made mistakes,
B A
but I'll find my way.

Through the tortures of the damned.

It just hurts to be a man,

Through the tortures of the damned.
