Behind Blue Eyes
Key:Em===Tempo:120===
Play the A2 as 0-0-2-2-0-0 for best effect, & let it ring...
Em |G |D |D
No one knows what it's like to be the bad man to be the
C |C |A2 |A2
sad man behind blue eyes
Em |G |D |D
No one knows what it's like to be hated to be
C |C |A2 |A2
fated to telling only lies. But my
C |D |G |G
dreams they aren't as empty as
my
C |D |E |E
conscience seems to be I
have
Bm |Bm |C |C
hours only lonely my love
is
D |D |A2 |A2
vengeance that's never free.
A2 |A2 |Em |G
No one knows what it's like to
feel
D |D |C |C
these feelings like I do and I
blame
A2 |A2 |Em |G
you No one bites back as hard
on their
D |D |C |C
anger none of my pain and woe
can show
A2 |A2 |C |D
through but my dreams they
aren't as
G |G |C |D
empty as my conscience seems to
be.
E |E |Bm |Bm
I have hours only
lonely
C |C |D |D
My love is vengeance that's
never
A2 |A2 |E |Bm
A
free.
E |Bm A |E |Bm
A
When my fist clenches,
crack it
E |Bm G |D |Bm
A
open, before I use it and lose my cool. When I smile, tell
me some
D |Bm A |E |Bm
A
bad news before I laugh and act like a fool.
E |Bm A |E |Bm
G
If I swallow anything evil, put your finger
down my
D |Bm A |D |Bm
A
throat and if I shiver, please give me a blanket, keep me warm, let
me wear
E |E |Em |G
your coat. No one knows what it's like
to be
D |D |C |C
the bad man, to be the sad man
behind
A2 |
blue eyes. [end]
