[Verse]
Em                     G
No one knows what it's like 

          D      [ Dsus4 D ]
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 D ]
To be hated

      Cadd9
To be fated

           A
To telling only lies
[Chorus]
        C   D                    G      Gsus4 G
But my drea-eams, they aren't as empty

      C          D        E  Esus4 E
As my conscience seems to be

       Bm          C
I have hours, only lonely

           D                      Asus2
My love is vengeance that's never free
[Verse]
Em                     G
No one knows what it's like 

              D      [ Dsus4 D ]
To feel these feelings

       Cadd9
Like I do

            A
And I blame you

Em                   G
No one bites back as hard 

         D      [ Dsus4 D ]
On their anger

           Cadd9
None of my pain and woe

         A
Can show through
[Chorus]
        C   D                    G      Gsus4 G
But my drea-eams, they aren't as empty

      C          D        E  Esus4 E
As my conscience seems to be

       Bm         C
I have hours only lonely

           D                      Asus2
My love is vengeance that's never free
[Middle 8] | E | Bm A | E | Bm A |
E              Bm       A         [ E ]
  When my fist clenches crack it open

E          Bm         G       D
  Before I use it and lose my cool

       Bm    A            D
When I smile tell me some bad news

         Bm        A         | E | Bm A |
Before I laugh and act like a fool

E          Bm      A        E
  And if I swallow anything evil

         Bm     G       D
Put your finger down my throat

         Bm            A         D
And if I shiver please give me a blanket

        Bm          A        | E | Bm A | E | Bm A |
Keep me warm let me wear your coat
[Link] | B | A G D | B | A G D | | B | A G D | B | B | [Verse] (coda)
Em                     G
No one knows what it's like 

          D      [ Dsus4 D ]
To be the bad man

          Cadd9
To be the sad man

  A    A    A
