No one knows what it's like  [Verse] Cm D# Bb Bb

To be the bad man                    G#  G# F F

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] G#  Bb  D# D# - G# Bb C C            Cm Cm

         Gm Gm G# G# - Bb Bb F F - F F      Cm Cm

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] (C Gm-F x2)

                                     [Bridge]

  C Gm-F C Gm-D# - (Bb Gm-F x2) - (C Gm-F 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] (G F>D#-Bb x3) - G X [Verse - Part #1]
