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

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

[Bridge]
Bbdim C
Look at me now, I'm on the tracks with my back
D Em
toward the last train leaving town. [x4]
[Chorus]

I've made mistakes,
D C
but I'll find my way.
D
There's no explanation for,
