Formed in October of 2000, Bayside consisted of four musicians looking for a chance to play music the rest of their lives. They recorded a demo and the band began playing shows around Long Island, NY. They quickly caught the eye of Brooklyn, New York's Dying Wish Records, who released their first EP, "Long Stories Short", featuring the songs "Foot Impressions", "Days Of My Life", "Red Head VS. The Pretty Red Bracelet", "Downtime", "Ask For It", and "Advance Letter Goodbye".
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

Intro - Bm (So, so cold and tired...)
[Verse 1] Bm I hate myself, AG more than I ever let on. A I'm burned out at twenty-two. EmAF#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. AG Knew what I was getting into. AEm But I couldn't let out what I had to keep in. AF#m I'm ashamed of myself and unspeakable sins,
that I've committed, and
[Chorus] GBm I've made mistakes, AG but I'll find my way. A There's no explanation for, BmAG the things I've failed at before. A They can't hold my hand. BmAG It just hurts to be a man, ABm Through the tortures of the damned.
Bm
[Verse 2] Bm If I only had an axe, AG I'd sever the ties I've made with the world. AEm Maybe I can be a stranger, A in a strange place. F#m If I start now, maybe I can be saved. BmA If I only had a mask, GA I'd cover these bleeding eyes. EmA 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] BbdimG Look at me now, I'm on the tracks with my back ABm toward the last train leaving town. [x4]
[Chorus]
[Chorus; Key Change!] AC#m I've made mistakes, BA but I'll find my way. B There's no explanation for, C#mBA the things I've failed at before. B They can't hold my hand. C#mBA It just hurts to be a man, BC#m Through the tortures of the damned.
