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

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

They can't hold my hand.

It just hurts to be a man,
A Bm
Through the tortures of the damned.
[Chorus]

I've made mistakes,

but I'll find my way.

the things I've failed at before.

Through the tortures of the damned.
