       B                         C#7
I see so little hope in you, With so much despair

       E                              E                B
As I look in your eyes I wonder what thoughts linger there

  B                                  C#7
Life means nothing to you, At least that's what they say

         E                                     B
But it doesn't mean that you have the right to take life away

         C#m                                          G#m
How were we to know, What was going on inside your mind

          C#m
You never let it show, What was going on behind

.............. Those killer's eyes

          B         C#7        E       B
Killer's eyes

E                                B
You've seen your picture in the paper

C#m
You're little sister's pinned it on the wall

E                                 B
She thinks you're in some kind of movie

C#m
Imagine her surprise, when she saw you on the news
Reporters came around and asked for interviews
B                     C#7
So little compassion, so icy cool

      E                                      B
They say you were a poor boy, you know that life can be cruel

B                                    C#7
Hate builds up from childhood, your world was a slum

          E                              B
But you haven't got the right to blow it to kingdom come

C#m                                                       G#m

          C#m                                      
It never really showed, You kept the secret deep inside

B       C#7                    E       B
.............. Those killer's eyes

          B         C#7        E       B
Killer's eyes

              B     
You say the world is full of bullshit

       C#7
So you kill just as you see fit

      E                                B
They say that you're a fanatic with a mission

    B                       C#7
We all go through Hell, in some kind of way

         E                                  B
Can you tell me what it's like to be there every day?
(actual song has a key change here)
E                               B
When you were young you had a vision

C#m
Why'd you go and do a thing like that?

E                              B
And now we see you on the television

When you were just a child, You'd hide away when other children cried

             C#m                                                       B
