[Intro] Em / G / D / Dsus/ Cadd9/ Aadd9/
No one knows what it's like [Em] [G] [D] [Dsus] [Cadd9] [Aadd9]
to be the bad man
to be the sad man
behind blue eyes
No one knows what it's like [Em] [G] [D] [Dsus] [Cadd9] [Aadd9]to be hated
to be fated
to telling only lies
--------------------------------------------------
But my dreams [C] [D] [G]
they aren't as empty
as my conscience seems to be [C] [D] [E]
I have hours, only lonely [Badd9] [C] [D] [Aaad9]
my love is vengeance
thats never free
---------------------------------------------------
No one knows what it's like [Em] [G] [D] [Dsus] [Cadd9] [Aadd9]
to feel these feelings
like I do
and I blame you
No one bites back as hard [Em] [G] [D] [Dsus] [Cadd9] [Aadd9]
on their anger
none of my pain and woe
can show through
----------------------------------------------------
But my dreams [C] [D] [G]
they aren't as empty
as my conscience seems to be [C] [D] [E]
I have hours, only lonely [Badd9] [C] [D] [Aaad9]
my love is vengeance
thats never free
----------------------------------------------------
[Bridge] E / Badd9 / A /
When my fist clenches, crack it open [E] [Badd9] [A]
Before I use it and loose my cool [E] [Bm] [G] [D]
When I smile, tell me some bad news [Badd9] [A] [D]
Before I laugh and act like a fool [Bm] [A]
[E] [Badd9] [A]
And if I swallow anything evil [E] [Badd9] [A]
Put your finger down my throat [E] [Bm] [G] [D]
And if I shiver, please give me a blanket [Badd9] [A] [D]
Keep me warm, let me wear your coat [Bm] [A]
[E] [Badd9] [A]
[Badd9] [Badd9] [A] [D] (x3)
[Badd9](hold)
----------------------------------------------------
No one knows what it's like [Em] [G] [D] [Dsus] [Cadd9] [Aadd9]
to be the bad man
to be the sad man
behind blue eyes
