Tuning: Standard

Intro - Bm
(So, so cold and tired...)

[Verse 1]
         Bm
I hate myself,
            A        G
more than I ever let on.
                  A
I'm burned out at twenty-two.
Em                     A         F#m
I lived too fast and I loved too much and I'll die too young,
                 Bm
but I chose this cup that I drank from.
          A             G
Knew what I was getting into.
                   A          Em
But I couldn't let out what I had to keep in.
                 A          F#m 
I'm ashamed of myself and unspeakable sins,

that I've committed, and

[Chorus]
G             Bm
I've made mistakes,
         A       G
but I'll find my way.
               A
There's no explanation for,
Bm               A           G
the things I've failed at before.
           A
They can't hold my hand.
Bm      A             G
It just hurts to be a man,
            A               Bm
Through the tortures of the damned. 

Bm

[Verse 2]
                 Bm
If I only had an axe,
              A         G
I'd sever the ties I've made with the world.
      A          Em         
Maybe I can be a stranger,
                   A
in a strange place.
   F#m
If I start now, maybe I can be saved.
Bm                    A
If I only had a mask,
G                             A
I'd cover these bleeding eyes.
        Em                                    A
They're bloodshot now but they'll be black by dawn.
F#m
If I wake up now, I can be pure again.

[Chorus] 

Bm

[Bridge]
Bbdim                      G  
Look at me now, I'm on the tracks with my back  
           A                  Bm
toward the last train leaving town. [x4]

[Chorus]

[Chorus; Key Change!]
A             C#m
I've made mistakes,
         B       A
but I'll find my way.
               B
There's no explanation for,
C#m               B          A
the things I've failed at before.
           B
They can't hold my hand.
C#m     B             A
It just hurts to be a man,
            B               C#m
Through the tortures of the damned.

[C#m until end]
