Em Em                        G G
No one knows what it's like
D D
To be the bad man
C C
To be the sad man
A A
Behind blue eyes

Em Em G G
No one knows what it's like
D D
To be hated
C C
To be fated
A A
To telling only lies

C C D D
But my dreams
G G
They aren't as empty
C C D D E E
As my conscience seems to be

Bm Bm C C
I have hours, only lonely
D D
My love is vengeance
A A
That's never free

Em Em G G
No one knows what it's like
D D
To feel these feelings
C C
Like I do
A A
And I blame you

Em Em G G
No one bites back as hard
D D
On their anger
C C
None of my pain and woe
A A
Can show through

But my dreams
G G
They aren't as empty

I have hours, only lonely

My love is vengeance

That's never free

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

Bm Bm A A E E
If I swallow anything evil
Bm Bm G G D D
Put your finger down my throat
G G A A D D
If I shiver, please give me a blanket
G G A A E E
Keep me warm, let me wear your coat

Em Em G G
No one knows what it's like
D D
To be the bad man
C C
To be the sad man
A A
Behind blue eyes

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.
