[E] [G]
[E]
[Em] No one knows what it's [G] like to be the [D] bald one, to be [G] the sad [C] man
[A] Behind blue eyes
No one knows what [G] it's like to be [D] faded, to be [D] faded
[C] To [A] tear the lonely lights
But [C] my
[D] dreams, they [G] aren't empty
And my conscience [D] seems [E] to read
[A] I [E] [Bm]
have others, [C] only lonely
Margaret [D] Fenton's, the [E] tear
[A]
[Em] No one knows what [G] it's like to feel [D] these feelings
Like [A] I do, [C]
and [A] I mean you
No one knows what it's like to [G] fall apart
[D]
No one knows [C]
what it's like to be a show [A] girl
But [C] my dreams, [D] they [G] aren't empty
And my conscience [D] [E] seems to read
[Bm] I have others, [C] only lonely
Margaret [D] Fenton's, the [A] tear
