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
