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

I've made mistakes,

but I'll find my way.

They can't hold my hand.

It just hurts to be a man,

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

toward the last train leaving town. [x4]
