F  Dm    Bb  C  Dm

[Verse 1]
  Bb   C             Dm
A cold and early dawn
      Bb  C       Dm    C
For a man gone so wrong
F              C               Dm
Another lonely way of wasting time
   Bb   C        Dm
So late into the night

[Bridge 1]
Dm    C  G         Dm  C  G        Dm

[Verse 2]
                C                  G         Dm
It wasn't long ago I was counting my days
               C                    G       Dm
With anger and boredom and fear and pain
                 C                  G       Dm
Back then I just wanted to even the score
                 C                      G      Bb
The pain doesn't translate the same anymore

[Chorus]
                         C
I'm not going back again
                                Dm
I'm not the man I was back then
       C           G
I will start again
                   Bb
I will start again
                             C
I'm not going back my friend
                           Dm  C  G      Dm
I'm not the man I was back then

[Verse 3]
           C                     G        Dm
I couldn't slow it down I know I got mean
           C                           G        Dm
I couldn't feel a thing, they couldn't touch me
      C                         G          Dm
None of those young girls could understand
         C                 G
How slowly killing oneself takes
             Bb
A toll on man

[Chorus]
                         C
I'm not going back again
                                Dm
I'm not the man I was back then
       C           G
I will start again
                   Bb
I will start again
                             C
I'm not going back my friend
                           Bb  C  F  Dm  Bb  C  Dm F Dm
I'm not the man I was back then

[Verse 4]
  Bb       C     Dm
A cold and early dawn
      Bb  C       Dm    G
For a man gone so wrong
F                 C            Dm  G
Another lonely way of wasting time
Bb     C         Dm
So late into the night

[Chorus]
                         C
I'm not going back again
                                Bb
I'm not the man I was back then
                         C
I'm not going back again
                                Dm
I'm not the man I was back then
       C           G
I will start again
                   Dm
I will start again
                C          G
And i'm thinking for myself
                   Bb
I will start again
                             C
I'm not going back my friend
                      Dm        C  G        Dm    F Dm
I'm not the man I was back then
