Em Em G G D D C9 C9
No one knows what it's like to be the bad man, to be the sad man,
Esus4-Esus4
Behind blue eyes
Em G D C9 Esus4-Esus4
No one knows what it's like to be faded, to be hated, to telling only lies
C-D G-Gsus4-G C E-Esus4-E
But my dreams, they aren't as empty, as my conscience seems to be
Bm C D Esus4-Esus4
I have hours, only lonely, my love is vengance that's never free


Em Em G G D D C9 C9
No one knows what it's like to feel these feelings, like I do,
Esus4-Esus4
and I blame you
Em Em G G D D
No one bites back as hard on their anger,
C9 Esus4-Esus4
none of my pain and woe can show through
C-D G-Gsus4-G C E-Esus4-E
But my dreams, they aren't as empty, as my conscience seems to be
Bm C D Esus4-Esus4
I have hours, only lonely, my love is vengance that's never free

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

About this song: Behind Blue Eyes

"Behind Blue Eyes" is a song written by Pete Townshend of The Who for his Lifehouse project. It first appeared on The Who's 1971 Who's Next album, along with a number of other remnants from the project. The song is one of The Who's most well known recordings and has been covered by many artists. The lyrics are a first-person lament from a man in the Lifehouse story, variously identified as 'Brick' or 'Jumbo', who is always angry and full of angst because of all the pressure and temptation that surrounds him, and the song was intended to be his "theme song" had the project been successful.
