C                  |C                  |A2                 |A2

sad man                                 behind blue eyes

Em                 |G                  |D                  |D

No one knows what it's like       to be hated                    to be

C                  |C                  |A2                 |A2

fated                        to telling only lies.              But my

C                  |D                  |G                  |G

dreams                   they aren't as empty                      as
my

C                  |D                  |E                  |E

conscience          seems           to be                          I
have

Bm                 |Bm                 |C                  |C

hours                             only lonely                  my love
is

D                  |D                  |A2                 |A2

vengeance                  that's never free.

A2                 |A2                 |Em                 |G

feel

D                  |D                  |C                  |C

these feelings                   like I do                       and I
blame

A2                 |A2                 |Em                 |G

you                                        No one bites back as hard
on their

anger                        none of my pain and woe
can show

A2                 |A2                 |C                  |D

through                         but my dreams                 they
aren't as

G                  |G                  |C                  |D

empty                             as my conscience            seems to
be.

E                  |E                  |Bm                 |Bm

                                 I have hours                    only
lonely

C                  |C                  |D                  |D

                             My love is vengeance               that's
never

A        
                                              When my fist clenches,
crack it

A        
open,      before I use it and lose my cool.       When I smile, tell
me some

bad news   before I laugh and act like a fool.

down my

throat    and if I shiver, please give me a blanket, keep me warm, let
me wear

E                  |E                  |Em                 |G

your coat.                               No one knows what it's like
to be

D                  |D                  |C                  |C

the bad man,                 to be the sad man
behind
