Behind Blue Eyes
Pete Towenshend / the Who
| Em | G | D | |
| No one knows what it's | like, to be the | bad man |
| C/D | A9 | |
| To be the | sad man, be | hind blue eyes! |
| Em | G | D | Dsus4 | |
| No one knows what it's | like to be | hated, |
| C/D | A9 | |
| To be | fated, to telling | only lies! |
| C | D | G | C/G | G | ||
| But my | dre | ams, they aren't as | empty |
| C | D | E | Esus4 | E | ||
| As my | conscience | seems to | be |
| Bm | C | |
| I have | hours, only | lonely |
| D | A9 | |
| My love is | vengeance that's never | free |
| No one knows what it's like to feel these feelings |
| 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
| E | Bm | A | E | Bm | A | ||||||
| E | Bm | A | E | |
| When my fist | clenches | crack it | open |
| Bm | G | D | |
| Before I | use it and | lose my | cool |
| G | A | E | |
| When I | smile | tell me some | bad news |
| G | A | E | |
| Before I | laugh and | act like a | fool |
| Bm | A | E | |
| And if I | swallow | anything | evil |
| Bm | G | D | |
| Stick your | finger | down my | throat |
| G | A | D | |
| And if I | shiver please | give me a | blanket |
| G | A | E | |
| Keep me | warm let me | wear your | coat |
| Bm | A | E | Bm | A | B | A | D | D5 | B | A | D | D5 | B | A | D | D5 | B | B/A | |||||||
| No one knows what it's like, to be the bad man |
| To be the sad man, behind blue eyes |
