Behind Blue Eyes - Pete Townsend (The Who)
Em G D
Em G D
No one knows what it's like to be the bad man,
C Asus2
To be the sad man behind blue eyes
Em G D
No one knows what it's like to be hated,
C Asus2
To be fated, to telling only lies.
CHORUS:
C D G C D E
But my dreams, they aren't as empty as my conscience seems to be.
Bm C D Asus2
I have hours, only lonely, my love is vengeance, that's never free
VERSE 2
Em G D
No one knows what it's like to feel these feelings
C Asus2
Like I do and I blame you.
Em G D
No one bites back as hard on their anger.
C Asus2
None of my pain and woe can show through.
CHORUS:
BRIDGE:
E Bm A E Bm G
When my fist clenches, crack it open before I use it and lose my cool.
D Bm A D Bm A
When I smile, tell me some bad news, before I laugh and act like a fool.
E Bm A E Bm G
And if I swallow anything evil, put your finger down my throat.
D Bm A D Bm A
And if I shiver, please give me a blanket, keep me warm, let me wear your coat.
E Bm A E Bm G
D Bm A D Bm A
E Bm A Bm A E Bm
Em G D
No one knows what it's like to be the bad man,
C Asus2
To be the sad man behind blue eyes
