BEHIND BLUE EYES
The Who

Em G D
No one knows what it's like, to be the bad man,
C A
To be the sad man, behind blue eyes
Em G D
No one knows what it's like to be hated,
C A
To be fated, to telling only lies

CHORUS
C D G
But my dreams, they aren't as empty,
C D E
As my conscience seems to be
Bm C
I have hours, only lonely
D A
My love is vengeance that's never free


No one knows what it's like to feel these feelings
Like I do, and I blame you
No one bites back as hard on their anger
None of my pain and woe, can show through

CHORUS

D Bm A E
When my fist clenches crack it open
Bm G D
Before I use it and lose my cool
Bm A E
When I smile tell me some bad news
Bm A E
Before I laugh and act like a fool

And if I swallow anything evil
Stick your finger down my throat
If I shiver please give me a blanket
Keep me warm let me wear your coat

No one knows what it's like, to be the bad man
To be the sad man, behind blue eyes
