Behind Blue Eyes - The Who

E4(022200)

Em                                G                  D          D4  D

No one knows what it's like to be the bad man
                C9(030030)   A9(002200)
To be the sad man . . .behind blue eyes
Em                                G            D       D4  D
No one knows what it's like to be hated
          C9                 A9
To be fated to telling only lies

            C   D                        G   C G        C              D            -  E4 -- E4 E
But my dreams they aren't as empty as my conscience seems to be
           Bm           C                        D         D4 D                A9
I have hours, only lonely, my love is vengeance that's never free

Em                                G                      D   D4 D          C9                  A9
No one knows what it's like to feel these feelings like I do, and I blame you
Em                            G                  D  D4 D              C9                                A9
No one bites back as hard on their anger none of my pain and woe can show through
            C   D                        G     C G       C              D            - E4 -- E4 E
But my dreams they aren't as empty as my conscience seems to be
           Bm           C                        D        D4 D                A9
I have hours, only lonely, my love is vengeance that's never free

   When my fist clenches crack it open before I use it and lose my cool
             Bm    A                 D2                      Bm           A            E
When I smile, tell me some bad news before I laugh and act like a fool

And if I shiver please give me a blanket, keep me warm, let me wear your coat
