[F#]
[Em] No one knows what it's [G] like to be the [D] fat man, to [G] be the sad man
[A] behind blue eyes
No [Em] one knows what [G] it's like to be [D] hated, to be [G] faded, to [E] telling [A] only lies
But [C] my
[D] dreams they aren't as empty as my [C]
conscience seems [E] to be
[Bm] Lonely, [C] lonely, my love [D] is vengeance that's never [A] free
[Em] No one knows what it's like [G] to feel [D] these feelings like I do, [C] and [A] I blame [A] you
No [Em] one bites back as hard on their [D] anger, none of my [C] pain and woe can show [A] through
But [C] my
[D] dreams [A] they aren't [G] as empty as [C] my conscience [D] seems to [E]
be
Lonely,
[Bm]
[C] my love is [D] vengeance that's never [A] free
[E] [Bm]
[E] [Bm]
[F#] [E] When my [Bm] fist clenches, [A] crack it [E] open, before [Bm] I use [D] it and lose my cool
When [Bm] I smile, [A] tell me [D] some bad news, before [Bm] I [A] laugh and act [E] like a fool
[Bm]
[E] And if [C#] I swallow [A] [E] anything evil, put [B] your [D] fingers down my throat
And if [Bm] I shiver, [A] please give [D] me a blanket, keep [Bm] me warm, [A] let me wear [E] you cold
