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

[Bridge]
Bbdim D
Look at me now, I'm on the tracks with my back
E F#m
toward the last train leaving town. [x4]
[Chorus]
D F#m
I've made mistakes,
E D
but I'll find my way.
E
There's no explanation for,
F#m E D
the things I've failed at before.
E
They can't hold my hand.

It just hurts to be a man,
E F#m
Through the tortures of the damned.

I've made mistakes,
F# E
but I'll find my way.
F#
There's no explanation for,

the things I've failed at before.

They can't hold my hand.

It just hurts to be a man,
F# G#m
Through the tortures of the damned.
[G#m until end]
