Intro
A#m
So, so cold and tired...
[Verse 1]
A#m
I hate myself,
G# F#
more than I ever let on.
G#
I'm burned out at twenty-two.
D#m G# Fm
I lived too fast and I loved too much and I'll die too young,
A#m
but I chose this cup that I drank from.
G# F#
Knew what I was getting into.
G# D#m
But I couldn't let out what I had to keep in.
G# Fm
I'm ashamed of myself and unspeakable sins,
that I've committed, and
[Chorus]
F# A#m
I've made mistakes,
G# F#
but I'll find my way.
G#
There's no explanation for,
A#m G# F#
the things I've failed at before.
G#
They can't hold my hand.
A#m G# F#
It just hurts to be a man,
G# A#m
Through the tortures of the damned.
A#m
[Verse]
A#m
If I only had an axe,
G# F#
I'd sever the ties I've made with the world.
G# D#m
Maybe I can be a stranger,
G#
in a strange place.
Fm
If I start now, maybe I can be saved.
A#m G#
If I only had a mask,
F# G#
I'd cover these bleeding eyes.
D#m G#
They're bloodshot now but they'll be black by dawn.
Fm
If I wake up now, I can be pure again.
[Chorus]
F# A#m
I've made mistakes,
G# F#
but I'll find my way.
G#
There's no explanation for,
A#m G# F#
the things I've failed at before.
G#
They can't hold my hand.
A#m G# F#
It just hurts to be a man,
G# A#m
Through the tortures of the damned.
A#m
[Bridge]
Bbdim F#
Look at me now, I'm on the tracks with my back
G# A#m
toward the last train leaving town. [x4]
[Chorus]
F# A#m
I've made mistakes,
G# F#
but I'll find my way.
G#
There's no explanation for,
A#m G# F#
the things I've failed at before.
G#
They can't hold my hand.
A#m G# F#
It just hurts to be a man,
G# A#m
Through the tortures of the damned.
[Chorus]

the things I've failed at before.

It just hurts to be a man,
A# Cm
Through the tortures of the damned.
