_ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ No one [B] [Em] knows what it's [G] like to be the [D] bad man, _ _ to [C] be the sad man.
_ _ _ [Dm] Behind [A] blue eyes, _ _ _ _ [Em] no one knows what it's [G] like to be [D]
hated, _ _ _ to be [C]
faded, _ _ _ to telling [A]
only lies.
_ _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _
_ My dreams, [D] _ _ they [G] are as empty _ _ _ _ [C] as my _ conscience _ [D] _ seems [Em] to be.
[E] _ _ _ _ I [Bm] have hours, _ _ _ [C] only lonely.
_ _ _ Our [D] love is vengeance, _ _ _ a snare [A] to feed. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] No one knows what [G] it's like to feel [D] these _ feelings _ like I [C] do, _ _ _ _ and I blame [A]
you.
_ _ _ _ _ [E] No one bites [G] back as _ hard [D] on their anger.
_ _ None of [C] my pain and woe _ can [G] show [A]
through.
_ _ _ But [C] my _ _ _ [D] dreams, they are [G] as empty _ _ _ _ as [C] my conscience _ [D] _ _ [E] seems to be.
_ _ _ _ [Em] _ I [Bm] have _ hours, _ _ [C] only [Am] lonely.
_ _ _ Our love is [D]
vengeance, _ _ _ the [A] smell of grief. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ [A] _ [Em] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
_ _ _ Hmm.
When _
[D] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] my fist clenches, [A] crack it open [E] before I use it [G] and lose my cool.
But when I [Dm] smile, tell me some bad news before I [Db] laugh and act like a [Em] fool.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
If I swallow [F] anything evil, put your finger down [Dm] my throat.
And if I shiver, please give me a blanket keep me warm.
Let me wear [E] your _ coat
_ _ [C] _
[Em] No _ [D] _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ [D] _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ [Em] _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ one knows [G] what it's like to feel [D] these feelings _
_ _ Like I [Am] do
_ [C] _
And I [A] blame you _
_ _ _ _ [Em] No one knows [G] what it's like
to be [D] the bad man
To [Am] be the sad man
_ _ _ _ [C] [A] behind blue eyes _ _ _ _ _ _
