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

[Bridge]
Bbdim G#
Look at me now, I'm on the tracks with my back
A# Cm
toward the last train leaving town. [x4]
[Chorus]
G# Cm
I've made mistakes,
A# G#
but I'll find my way.
A#
There's no explanation for,
Cm A# G#
the things I've failed at before.

Through the tortures of the damned.

but I'll find my way.

the things I've failed at before.

It just hurts to be a man,
C Dm
Through the tortures of the damned.
