Em                     G               D     
No one knows what it's like, to be the bad man,      
          C         A     
to be the sad man, Behind Blue eyes.      
Em                     G          D     
No one knows what it's like to be hated,      
      C                 A     
To be fated, to telling only lies.      
    
      C  D                   G     
But my dreams, they aren't as empty,      
      C          D        E     
As my conscience seems to be     
 Bm               C     
I have hours, only lonely      
           D                       A     
My love is vengence that's never free     
        
Em                     G                  D     
No one knows what it's like to feel these feelings     
       C               A     
Like I do, and I blame you.     
Em                   G             D     
No one bites back as hard on their anger,      
           C                      A     
None of my pain and woe, can show through.     
    
       C  D                   G     
But my dreams, they aren't as empty,      
      C          D        E     
As my conscience seems to be     
  Bm                  C     
I have hours, only lonely      
           D                     A     
My love is vengence that's never free   

(E Bm A ) (2x)   

E       Bm   A              E   
When my fist clenches crack it open,   
Bm           G            D   
before I use it and loose my cool.   
       Bm         A           D   
When I smile tell me some bad news,   
         Bm        A          E   
before I laugh and act like a fool   

(E Bm A)   

E        Bm      A        E   
And if I swallow anything evil,   
Bm                G         D   
put your finger down my throat.   
     Bm                 A      D   
If I shiver please give me a blanket,   
        Bm          A         E   
keep me warm let me wear your coat.   

(E Bm A ) (2x)   

(B  A  G  D ) (3x)  B   

Em                     G              D   
No one knows what it's like, to be the bad man,   
          C          A   
to be the sad man, Behind Blue eyes.
