lyrics

EmNo one knows what it's like to be the Gbad man
To be the Dsad man Cadd9behind blue Geyes D
EmNo one knows what it's like to be Ghated
To be Dfated to telling only Cadd9lies G D

But my Cdreams they aren't as empty Das my conGscience seems to Dsus4be
I have Chours only lonely Dmy love is Emvengeance that's never Afree

EmNo one knows what it's like to feel these Gfeelings
Like I Ddo and I blame you Cadd9 G D
EmNo one bites back as hard on their Ganger
None of my Dpain and woe can show through Cadd9 G D

But my Cdreams they aren't as empty Das my conGscience seems to Dsus4be
I have Chours only lonely Dmy love is Emvengeance that's never Afree

BmWhen my fist clenches crack it Eopen
Before I use it and lose my Bmcool
When I Esmile tell me some bad news
Before I Bmlaugh and act like a Efool

BmIf I swallow anything evil put your Bm/Afinger down my throat
If I Gshiver please give me a Ablanket
Keep me Bmwarm let me wear your Ecoat

EmNo one knows what it's like to be the Gbad man
To be the Dsad man Cadd9behind blue Geyes D Em G D Cadd9 G D
