         Bm
I hate myself,
                    G
more than I ever let on.
                    A
I'm burned out at twenty-two.
Em                     A         F#
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.
                        G
Knew what I was getting into.
                              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,
                  G
but I'll find my way.
               A
There's no explanation for,
Bm               D           G
the things I've failed at before.
            A
They can't hold my hand.
Bm                     G
It just hurts to be a man,
             A               Bm
Through the tortures of the damned.

If I only had an axe
I'd sever the ties I've made with the world
Maybe I can be a stranger
In a strange place
If I start now, maybe I can be saved
If I only had a mask
I'd cover these bleeding eyes
They're bloodshot now but they'll be black by dawn
If I wake up now
I can be pure again

Chorus:
I've made mistakes
But I'll find my way
There's no explanation for
The things I've failed at before
They can't hold my hand
It just hurts to be a man
Through the tortures of the damned

A#dim                        G
Look at me now, I'm on the tracks with my back
           F#m                  Bm
toward the last train leaving town. - x4

Chorus:
I've made mistakes
But I'll find my way
There's no explanation for
The things I've failed at before
They can't hold my hand
It just hurts to be a man
(Through the tortures of the damned)
I've made mistakes
But I'll find my way
There's no explanation for
The things I've failed at before
They can't hold my hand
It just hurts to be a man
Through the tortures of the damned
Of the damned
