[Em] No one knows what [G] it's like to be the [D] bad man, to be [G] the sad man, [D]
[A] behind blue eyes.
[Em] No one knows what [G] it's like to be [D] hated, to [G] be faded, to [A] telling only lies.
But [C] my [D] dreams they [G] aren't as empty as [C] my conscience [D] seems [E] to be.
[A] [E] I [Bm] have eyes [C] only lonely, my [D] love is vengeance that's [A] never free.
[Em] No one knows what it's like to feel [D] these feelings, like I [C] do, and I [A] blame you.
[Em] No one bites back as hard on [D] their anger, none of [C] my fevered woe can show [A]
through.

[Bm] [E] And if [F#] I swallow [A] and it [E] be evil, put [G] your finger down [D] my throat.
And if [Bm] I shiver, [A] please give [D] me a blanket, keep me [A] warm, let me [E] wear your coat.
