A cold and early dawn

For a man gone so wrong

[Pre-Chorus]
Dm C G7
It wasn't long ago I was counting my days
Dm C G7
With anger and boredom and fear and pain
Dm C G7
Back then I just wanted to even the score
Dm C G7
The pain doesn't translate the same anymore
[Chorus]
Bb
I'm not going back again
C
I'm not the man I was back then
Dm C G7
I will start again, I will start again
Bb
I'm not going back my friend
C Dm C G7
I'm not the man I was, back then
[Verse]
Dm C G7
I couldn't slow it down I know I got mean
Dm C G7
I couldn't feel a thing and they couldn't touch me
Dm C G7
None of those young girls could understand
Dm C G7
How slowly killing oneself takes, a toll on man
[Chorus]
Bb
I'm not going back again
C
I'm not the man I was back then
Dm C G7
I will start again, I will start again
Bb
I'm not going back my friend
C Bb C Dm
I'm not the man I was, back then
[Instrumental]

Bb
I'm not going back again
C
I'm not the man I was back then
Bb
I'm not going back again

I will start again, I will start again
Dm C G7
I paid for my sins, I will start again
Bb
I'm not going back my friend
C Dm C G7
I'm not the man I was, back then
