[Intro]
Em G D C A
[Verse]
Em G
No one knows what it's like
D
to be the bad man
C
to be the sad man
A
behind blue eyes
Em G
No one knows what it's like
D
to be hated
C
to be fated
A
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
B C
I have hours, only lonely
D
my love is vengeance
A
thats never free
[Verse]
Em G
No one knows what it's like
D
to feel these feelings
C
like I do
A
and I blame you
Em G
No one bites back as hard
D
on their anger
C
none of my pain and woe
A
can show through
[Chorus]
C D
But my dreams
G
they aren't as empty
C D E
as my conscience seems to be
B C
I have hours, only lonely
D
my love is vengeance
A
that's never free
[Bridge]
E B A
E B A E
When my fist clenches, crack it open
E Bm G D
Before I use it and lose my cool
B A D
When I smile, tell me some bad news
Bm A E B A
Before I laugh and act like a fool
E B A E
And if I swallow anything evil
E Bm G D
Put your finger down my throat
B A D
And if I shiver, please give me a blanket
Bm A E B A
Keep me warm, let me wear your coat
[Instrumental]

No one knows what it's like
