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

It just hurts to be a man,
G Am
Through the tortures of the damned.
[Chorus]
G Bm
I've made mistakes,
A G
but I'll find my way.

the things I've failed at before.

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 until end]
