Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em][Em]

[Verse 1]
[Em]No one knows what it's [G]like
To be the [D]bad man
To be the [C]sad man
[A]Behind blue eyes
[Em]No one knows what it's l[G]ike
To be [D]hated
To be [C]fated
To telling [A]only lies

[Chorus 1]
But my [C]dreams[D]
They aren't as [G]empty
As my [C]conscience [D]seems to [E]be
I have [Bm]hours, only [C]lonely
My love is [D]vengeance
That's never [A]free

[Verse 2]
[Em]No one knows what it's l[G]ike
To feel these [D]feelings
Like I [C]do
And I blame [A]you
[Em]No one bites back as h[G]ard
On their [D]anger
None of my [C]pain and woe
Can show [A]through

[Chorus 2]
But my [C]dreams[D]
They aren't as [G]empty
As my [C]conscience [D]seems to [E]be
I have [Bm]hours, only [C]lonely
My love is [D]vengeance
That's never [A]free

[Bridge 1]
[E][Bm][A]
[E][Bm][A]
[E]When my fist cle[Bm]nches, crack it [A]open
[E]Before I use[Bm] it and lose[G] my cool[D]
When I [Bm]smile, [A]tell me some [D]bad news
Before I [Bm]laugh
and [A]act like a [E]fool[Bm][A]
[E]And if I swa[Bm]llow any[A]thing evi[E]l
Put your [Bm]finger [G]down my [D]throat
And if I [Bm]shiver, please [A]give me a [D]blanket
Keep me [Bm]warm,
let me [A]wear your [E]coat[Bm][A]
[E][Bm][A]
[B][A][G][D]
[B][A][G][D]
[B][A][G][D]
[B][B]

[Verse 3]
[Em]No one knows what it's l[G]ike
To be the [D]bad man
To be the [C]sad man
[A]Behind blue eyes
