Em G D No one knows what it's like, to be the bad man, C A to be the sad man, Behind Blue eyes. Em G D No one knows what it's like to be hated, C A To be fated, to telling only lies. C D G But my dreams, they aren't as empty, C D E As my conscience seems to be Bm C I have hours, only lonely D A My love is vengence that's never free Em G D No one knows what it's like to feel these feelings C A Like I do, and I blame you. Em G D No one bites back as hard on their anger, C A None of my pain and woe, can show through. C D G But my dreams, they aren't as empty, C D E As my conscience seems to be Bm C I have hours, only lonely D A My love is vengence that's never free (E Bm A ) (2x) E Bm A E When my fist clenches crack it open, Bm G D before I use it and loose my cool. Bm A D When I smile tell me some bad news, Bm A E before I laugh and act like a fool (E Bm A) E Bm A E And if I swallow anything evil, Bm G D put your finger down my throat. Bm A D If I shiver please give me a blanket, Bm A E keep me warm let me wear your coat. (E Bm A ) (2x) (B A G D ) (3x) B Em G D No one knows what it's like, to be the bad man, C A to be the sad man, Behind Blue eyes.
