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