No one knows what it's like  [Verse] Bbm C# G# G#

To be the bad man                    F#  F# D# D#

To be the sad man - Behind blue eyes

No one knows what it's like - To be hated

To be fated - To telling only lies

                                      [Intro]

[Chorus] F#  G#  C# C# - F# G# Bb Bb            Bbm Bbm

         Fm Fm F# F# - G# G# D# D# - D# D#      Bbm Bbm

But my drea-eams - They aren't as empty

As my conscience - Seems to be

I have hours     - Only lonely

My love is vengeance - That's never free

                         ╔══════════════════╗

No one knows what it's like     The Who     ║

To feel these feelings   ║ Behind Blue Eyes ║

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] [Instru] (Bb Fm-D# x2)

                                     [Bridge]

  Bb Fm-D# Bb Fm-C# - (G# Fm-D# x2) - (Bb Fm-D# x1~2)

When my fist clenches, crack it open

Before I use it and lose my cool

When I smile, tell me some bad news

Before I laugh and act like a fool - …

And if I swallow anything evil

Put your finger down my throat

And if I shiver, please give me a blanket

Keep me warm, let me wear your coat


[Instru] (F D#>C#-G# x3) - F X [Verse - Part #1]
