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
           D9                       A9
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
           D9                     A9
My love is vengence that's never free

( Em  Bm  A )
( Em  Bm  A )

Em       Bm   A              Em
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          Em
Before I laugh and act like a fool

( Em  Bm  A )

Em        Bm      A        Em
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         Em
Keep me warm let me wear your coat

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
