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