Behind Blue Eyes

Em G D Dsus4 Cadd9 Aadd9 
 
 Em                     G    
No one knows what it's like    
           D     Dsus4
To be the bad man 
           Cadd9  
To be the sad man 
   Asus2  
Behind blue eyes 
 
 Em                     G  
No one knows what it's like   
       D    Dsus4  
To be hated 
       Cadd9  
To be fated 
    Asus2  
To telling only lies 
   
             C    D  
    But my dreams   
                       G  C G 
    They aren't as empty 
           C          D        E  
    As my conscience seems to be    
            Bm          C   
    I have hours, only lonely      
                D   
    My love is vengeance 
                   Asus2  
    That's never free 
 
 Em                     G  
No one knows what it's like    
               D       Dsus4  
To feel these feelings 
        Cadd9  
Like I do 
        Asus2  
And I blame you 
 
 Em                   G  
No one bites back as hard     
            D  Dsus4  
On their anger 
            Cadd9  
None of my pain and woe 
      Asus2  
Can show through 
  
             C    D   
    But my dreams   
                   G  
    They aren't as empty 
           C          D        E  
    As my conscience seems to be    
            Bsus2       C   
    I have hours, only lonely      
                D   
    My love is vengeance 
                   Asus2  
    That's never free

  E            Bsus2            A  
When my fist clenches, crack it open   
   E            Bm            G   D  
Before I use it and loose my cool    
         Bsus2 A            D     
When I smile, tell me some bad news    
   Bm     A        E           Bsus2  A  
Before I laugh and act like a fool   
           E     Bsus2    A  
And if I swallow anything evil    
 E        Bm     G         D  
Put your finger down my throat   
           Bsus2         A          D  
And if I shiver, please give me a blanket 
 Bm      A     E      Bsus2     A  
Keep me warm, let me wear your coat
