[Verse]
Â
 Em            G
No one knows what it's like
            D Dsus4
to be the bad man
             Cadd9
to be the sad man
   Asus2
behind blue eyes
Â
Em            G
No one knows what it's like
            D Dsus4
to be hated
             Cadd9
to be fated
   Asus2
to telling only lies
Â
Â
[Chorus]
Â
           C   D
But my dreams
              G
they aren't as empty
        C     D     E
as my conscience seems to be
          Bsus2     C
I have hours, only lonely
                D
my love is vengeance
               Asus2
that's never free
Â
Â
[Verse]
Â
 Em            G
No one knows what it's like
            D Dsus4
to feel these feelings
             Cadd9
like I do
   Asus2
and I blame you
Â
 Em            G
No one bites back as hard
            D Dsus4
on their anger
             Cadd9
none of my pain and woe
   Asus2
can show through
Â
Â
[Chorus]
Â
           C   D
But my dreams
              G
they aren't as empty
        C     D     E
as my conscience seems to be
          Bsus2     C
I have hours, only lonely
                D
my love is vengeance
               Asus2
that's never free

 E      Bsus2   A      E
When my fist clenches, crack it open
E    Bm     G    D
Before I use it and lose my cool
       Bsus2 A      D
When I smile, tell me some bad news
         Bm    A     E Bsus2 A
Before I laugh and act like a fool
EÂ Â Â Â Bsus2 Â AÂ Â Â Â E
And if I swallow anything evil
E    Bm   G    D
Put your finger down my throat
         Bsus2     A     D
And if I shiver, please give me a blanket
        Bm      A     E Bsus2 A
Keep me warm, let me wear your coat
