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

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

It just hurts to be a man,

Through the tortures of the damned.

the things I've failed at before.

It just hurts to be a man,
G Am
Through the tortures of the damned.
