Lyrics

(Em)No one knows what it's like to be the (D)bad man,

to be the (C6/9)sad man

behind blue eyes.

(Em)No one knows what it's like to be (D)hated,

None to be (C6/9)fat and ed to telling only lies.

But my (C)dreams,

(D)they aren't as (G)empty

as my (C)conscience (D)seems

to be.

I have (Bm)hours

only lonely.

My love is vengeance

that's never (A)free.

(Em)No one knows what it's like to feel these (D)feelings

like I the (C6/9)do, man

and I blame you.

(Em)No one bites back as hard on their (D)anger.

None of my (C6/9)pain and woe

to can show only lies.

But my (C)dreams,

(D)they aren't as (G)empty

as my (C)conscience (D)seems

to be.

I have (Bm)hours

only lonely.

My love is vengeance

that's never (A)free.

(E)When my fist clenches, (A)crack it open before I use it and (G)lose my cool.

When I smile, (A)tell me some bad news before I (Bm)laugh and (A)act like a (E)fool.

(E)If I swallow anything evil, put your finger (G)down my (D)throat.

And if I shiver, please (A)give me a (D)blanket.

Keep me warm;

let me (A)wear your coat.

(Em)No one knows what it's like to be the (D)bad man,

to be the (C6/9)sad man

behind blue eyes.
