EmNo one knows what it's Glike
 To be the Dbad man
 To be the Csad man
 BeAhind blue eyes
EmNo one knows what it's Glike
 To be Dhated
 To be Cfated
 To telling Aonly lies
 But my Cdreams D
 They aren't as Gempty
 As my Cconscience Dseems to Ebe
 I have Bmhours, only Clonely
 My love is Dvengeance
 That's never Afree
EmNo one knows what it's Glike
 To feel these Dfeelings
 Like I Cdo
 And I blame Ayou
EmNo one bites back as Ghard
 On their Danger
 None of my pain and Cwoe
 Can show Athrough
 But my Cdreams D
 They aren't as Gempty
 As my Cconscience Dseems to Ebe
 I have Bmhours, only Clonely
 My love is Dvengeance
 That's never Afree
DWhen my fist Bmclenches, Acrack it Eopen
 Before I Bmuse it and Glose my Dcool
 When I Bmsmile, Atell me some Ebad news
 Before I Bmlaugh and act Alike a Efool
 If I Bmswallow anyAthing Eevil
 Put your Bmfinger Gdown my Dthroat
 If I Bmshiver, please Agive me a Eblanket
 Keep me Bmwarm, let me Awear your Ecoat
EmNo one knows what it's Glike
 To be the Dbad man
 To be the Csad man
 BeAhind blue eyes
