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