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

the things I've failed at before.

They can't hold my hand.
Fm D# C#
It just hurts to be a man,
D# Fm
Through the tortures of the damned.

Look at me now, I'm on the tracks with my back

toward the last train leaving town. [x4]

but I'll find my way.
