Intro

Esus4
(arpeggiated)

Verse

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
Em                     G
No one knows what it's like
           D Dsus4
to be hated
           Cadd9
to be fated
   Asus2
to telling only lies

Chorus

       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

Verse

Em                     G
No one knows what it's like
        D     Dsus4
to feel these feelings
         Cadd9
like I do
Asus2
and I blame you
Em                       G
No one bites back as hard
         D    Dsus4
on their anger
           Cadd9
none of my pain and woe
Asus2
can show through

Chorus

       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

Bridge

E Bsus2 A
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
E        Bsus2   A        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
