[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
