Live at Kilburn, December 15 1977 https://youtu.be/skuUvR5Btqw Alt Version: https://youtu.be/w7LGr8htLr8 Define: D/F# 200232 [Intro] Asus2 Asus2 Asus2 Asus2 [Verse 1]
Em                     G              D      Dsus4 D
No one knows what it's like to be the bad man,

          Cadd9      Asus2
to be the sad man, behind blue eyes.

Em                     G          D    Dsus4 D
No one knows what it's like to be hated,

      Cadd9             Asus2
to be fated, to telling only lies.
[Chorus]
       C      D                 G
But my dreams... they aren't as empty

      C          D/F#     E
as my conscience seems to be.

       Bm7           C
I have hours... only lonely,

           D/F#                     Asus2
my love is vengeance... thats never free.
[Verse 2]
Em                     G                  D       Dsus4 D
No one knows what it's like to feel these feelings

       Cadd9             Asus2
like I do... and I blame you.

Em                   G             D    Dsus4 D
No one bites back as hard on their anger,

           Cadd9                    Asus2
none of my pain and woe... can show through.
[Chorus]
       C      D                 G
But my dreams... they aren't as empty

      C          D/F#     E
as my conscience seems to be.

       Bm7           C
I have hours... only lonely,

           D/F#                     Asus2
my love is vengeance... thats never free.
[Bridge] E B A x4
E             B         A
 When my fist clenches, crack it open

E         B          G        D
 before I use it and loose my cool.

       B      A            D
When I smile, tell me some bad news

         B         A          E   B  A
before I laugh and act like a fool.

E         B       A        E
 And if I swallow anything evil,

         B      G       D
put your finger down my throat.

         B              A         D
And if I shiver, please give me a blanket,

        B            A         E   B  A    E   B  A
keep me warm, let me wear your coat.

Em                     G              D      Dsus4 D
No one knows what it's like to be the bad man,

          Cadd9      Asus2
to be the sad man, behind blue eyes.
