Song: Behind Blue Eyes
By:     the Who

[intro:]  Emsus 

[verse: 1]
Em	                G                  D
No one knows what it's like     to be the bad man
          Cadd9         Asus2 
To be the sad man    Behind blue eyes
Em                      G              D
No one knows what it's like     to be hated
       Cadd9               Asus2 
To be fated          to telling only lies

[chorus:]
         C      D                   G             
But my dreams      they aren't as empty
         C         D      E         
As my conscience seems to be
        Bm           C
I have hours, only lonely
            D                         Asus2                                      
My love is vengeance    that's never free

[verse: 2]
Em	                G                        D
No one knows what it's like     to feel these feelings
       Cadd9                      Asus2 
Like I do             And I blame you
Em	              G                D
No one bites back as hard    on their anger
       Cadd9                          Asus2 
None of my pain and woe     can show through 

[chorus:]   {repeat}

[bridge:]   E   [ Bm   A   E ]  X 2

                Bm       A       E
When my fist clenches, crack it open 
         Bm          G        D
Before I use it and lose my cool
         Bm    A            D
When I smile, tell me some bad news 
          Bm        A          E      Bm    A  E   Bm   A  E
Before I laugh and act like a fool 
           Bm      A       E
And if I swallow anything evil 
           Bm    G        D
Put your finger down my throat 
          Bm             A          D
And if I shiver, please give me a blanket 
         Bm      A              E
Keep me warm, let me wear your coat  

Bm   A    E
Bm   A   
[B   A  Dsus D ]   X3
B    (hold)

[coda:]
Em	                G                  D
No one knows what it's like     to be the bad man
          Cadd9          Asus2 
To be the sad man    Behind blue eyes
