Behind Blue Eyes
Tom: Em

 

[Em]No one knows what it's [G]like, to be the[D] bad man, 
to be the [C]sad man, Be[A]hind Blue eyes. 
[Em]No one knows what it's [G]like to be [D]hated, 
To be [C]fated, to telling [A]only lies. 
{start_of_chorus}
But my [C]dre[D]ams, they aren't as [G]empty, 
As my [C]conscience [D]seems to [E]be
I [C]have hours, [D]only lonely 
My love is [Bm]vengence that's [A]never free
{end_of_chorus}
   
[Em]No one knows what it's l[G]ike to feel these [D]feelings
Like I [C]do, and I blame [A]you.
[Em]No one bites back as [G]hard on their [D]anger, 
None of my [C]pain and woe, can show [A]through.
(Chorus)
[D]When my [Bm]fist [A]clenches crack [E]it open, 
[Bm]before I use [G]it and loose [D]my cool. 
When I [Bm]smile tell [A]me some bad [E]news, 
before I [Bm]laugh and [A]act like a [E]fool
[D]And if I [Bm]swallow [A]anything [E]evil, 
[Bm]stick your finger [G]down my th[D]roat.
If I [Bm]shiver please give [A]me a bl[E]anket, 
keep me [Bm]warm let me [A]wear your [E]coat. 
[Em]No one knows what it's [G]like, to be the[D] bad man, 
to be the [C]sad man, Be[A]hind Blue eyes. 
Squeeze Box

I'm so in love with you

When I was a baby
	 Bb          C
I had no care in the world
   Bb    F      Bb     F	C
But now, I'm a man and troubles fill my head
C	   F            Bb         C
When I was five, it was good to be alive.

But now I'm a man I wish that I were dead.
D      Bb          F     Fadd4   F (last two quickly)
My how time rushes by.
   Eb				    F   Fadd4   F
The moment you're born you start to die
       D   Bb         F
'cause time waits for no man.
	 Eb	     F				
And your lifespan is over before it began.
Bb     Bb7            Eb
When I sit here at my window

My life comes back to me.

We'll be fighting in the streets, with our children at our feet,
        A                D               E        
and the morals that they worship will be gone.
        A                  D         A                D
And the men who spurred us on sit in judgement of all wrong,
        A           D                 E      G D
they decide and the shotgun sings the song.
Refrain:
     D      A          D         A
I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
D      A           D       A
take a bow for the new revolution,
D         A           D          A
smile and grin at the change all around,
G                     E7
take up my guitar and play
G               E7
just like yesterday,
         G                   D
and I'll get on my knees and pray.
D7                           A
---     We don't get fooled again.
The change it had to come, we knew it all along,
we were liberated from the fold, that's all.
And the world looks just the same, and history ain't changed,
'cause the banners were all flown in the last war.
Refrain
D    B      Bsus4       B
I'll move myself and my family aside,
E  
if we happen to be left half alive,
     A
I'll get all my papers and smile at the sky,
         B7                             B     A  E
though I know that the hypnotized never lie.
B   A E
A   G D
A
Nothing in the street looks any different to me.
And the slogans are replaced by the by,
and the parting on the left is now parting on the right,
and the beards have all grown longer over night.
Refrain
Yeah, 
A                    G   D
meet the new boss.
A                    G   D   A
Same as the old boss.

Or is her ceiling peeling?

She's sitting up in bed, shakin' her head

Was I all right? (was I all right?)
      C                 F
Did a shadow of emotion cross your face
                                    D5
Or was it just another trick of the light?
[Bass solo: over verse chords]

But was I all right? (was I all right?)

What's a nice girl like you doin' in a place like this?
Bb              F                 C
They don't make girls like you no more

And I'd like to get to know you
   G                 Bb

Shakes her head and sighs
F                   
Out of time, out the door
C              G        D
Red light shinin' in my eyes
But was I all right? (was I all right?)
Did I take you to the height of ecstasy?
Was I all right? (was I all right?)
Did a shadow of emotion cross your face
All right?
But was I all right?
All right?

Disguises 
Tom: E
E
I used to know ev'rything about you
But today when I tried to point you out
   F#
To one of my friends
               B
I picked the wrong girl again
                    F#
Can't see you in a crowd anymore
                         B
I think it's you but I can't be sure
                   E
You're wearing disguises
                         F#
Occasion'lly it still surprises me
           B              D
When she turns out to be you
            E
Wearing disguises.
E
I don't think you want me to see you ever again
But today I saw you dressed
       F#
As a flower bed
                     B
Last week you had a wig on your head
                     F#
Misdirecting traffic in the street
                         B
And your shoes were too big for your feet
                   E
You're wearing disguises
                         F#
Occasion'lly it still surprises me
           B              D
When she turns out to be you
            E        D
Wearing disguises.
            E        D
