He who makes a beast out of himself, 
gets rid of the pain 
of being a man

Dm Ab G F

[Verse]
Dm      Ab        G     F   
Caught here in a fiery blaze, 
 Dm    Ab     G      F
won't lose my will to stay.
   Dm         Ab      G                    
I tri-i-i-i-i-ied to drive all 
            F
through the night,
     Dm            Ab        
the heat stroke ridden weather, the 
G             F
barren empty sights.
Dm   Ab  G       F        Dm  
No oasis here to see, the sand 
    Ab       G         F
is singing deathless words to me.


[Chorus]
Dm                
Can't you help me 
        Gm           F     
as I'm startin' to burn (all 
 [C]
alone).
C                      
Too many doses and I'm 
 F          C     
starting to get an 
      Dm
attraction.
Dm                       Gm         
My confidence is leaving me on my 
F         [C]
own (all alone).
C                           F           
No one can save me and you know  
        C             Dm
I don't want the attention.


[Verse]
   Dm        Ab    G            
As I-I-I-I-I-I adjust to my new 
F
sights 
     Dm            Ab         G            
The rarely tired lights will take 
          F
me to new heights.
    Dm            Ab          G       
My hand is on the trigger I'm ready 
     F
to ignite.
   Dm              Ab                       
Tomorrow might not make it
    G                F
but everything's all right.
Dm      Ab       G     F   Dm     
Mental fiction, follow me; show me 
 Ab       G       F
what it's like to be set free.

[Chorus]
Dm               
Can't you help me 
        Gm           F      
as I'm startin' to burn (all 
  [C]
alone).
C                       F              
Too many doses and I'm starting to 
C            Dm
get an attraction.
Dm                       Gm        
My confidence is leaving me on my 
 F         [C]
own (all alone).
C                           F           
No one can save me and you know I 
C                  Dm
don't want the attention.

[Bridge]
Dm     G               C     E7       
Soooo sorry you're not here I've been 
 Am               G             F
sane too long my vision's so unclear.
Dm   G               C        
Now take a trip with me but,
 Am                     G             F
Don't be surprised when things aren't what they seem.

[Verse]
Dm      F        G      Bb    Dm     
Caught here in a fiery blaze, won't 
F      G      Bb
lose my will to stay.
Dm     F          G       Bb     
These eyes won't see the same, 
Dm   F  G      Bb
after I flip today.

[Verse]
     Dm                Ab                     
Sometimes I don't know why we'd 
G                F
rather live than die,
    Dm                 Ab                     
We look up towards the sky for 
G              F
answers to our lives.
    Dm            Ab                    
We may get some solutions
     G                F
but most just pass us by,
       Dm            Ab                       
Don't want your absolution 
       G                F
'cause I can't make it right.
F           C               Dm   
I'll make a beast out of myself, 
  F          C               Bb      
Gets rid of all the pain of being a 
A7
man.

get an attraction.
Dm                       Gm        
My confidence is leaving me on my 
          [C]
own (all alone).
C                           F   
No one can save me and you know 
        C             [Dm]
I don't want the attention.

[Outro]
Dm  G          C         E7        
So sorry you're not here I've  
    Am               G             
been sane too long my vision's so 
   F
unclear.
Dm   G                C  E7       
Now, take a trip with me but,
Am                      G             
Don't be surprised when things 
                 F
aren't what they seem.
Dm    G                 C     E7     
I've known it from the start all  
      Am              G              
These good ideas will tear your brain 
 F
apart.
Dm     G              C      E7   
Scared but you can follow me I'm
    Am                 G       
Too weird to live but much 
            F
too rare to die.
