D                    G             
I've been suckling for far too long  
          Bm                A 
I've been slowly letting the fires die down  
         D                   G 
I've been smashed and broken, i must pick myself together  
    Bm             A 
if i have the will--if i can find it still (x2) 
G                      Em                              D 
Oh, i'll make the same mistake and make it three times more  
                Bm          G 
I don't ask for permission, most only for forgiveness  
                 Em                      D 
And i would make amends, but i am such a chore  
          G 
And in my defense i've been shattered on the floor  
                Em                    D   G, Bm, A, D, G, Bm, A 
but i am just a man, whom do i answer for?  

D                                G 
And you'll catch me playing with myself in the corner  
     Bm          A                       D 
I am lost now, i have been mourning my own self  
                   G 
Just put me in the ground  
                              Bm             A 
cuz oh, i've been dead--i've been dead awhile now  

G                      Em                            D 
Oh, i'll make the same mistake and make it three times more  
                Bm                        G 
I don't ask for permission, most only for forgiveness  
                 Em                      D 
And i would make amends, but i am such a chore  
          Bm                                 G 
And in my defense i've been shattered on the floor  
          Em                         A 
But i am just a man, whom do i answer for?   

G                                        G 
My face has grown old, my face has grown cold     
D                           Bm      F#m
i'm sick to the stomach and i made it so      
G                                Em 
My mind has grown old, my body's necrosed        

D                       Bm            D 
My muscles are atrophied and i made it so  
   G                     Em  
My heart has grown cold, my heart has old  
D                  Bm          D 
I am a monster and i made it so
