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

         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,

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
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.

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

           A                  Bm
toward the last train leaving town. [x4]

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.
