(E minor) No one knows what it's like (G major)
To be (D major) hated
To be (Cadd9) fated
To telling only (Asus2) lies
Chorus 1
But my (C major) dreams (D major)
They aren't as (G major) empty
As my (C major) conscience (D major) seems to be (E major)
I have (B minor) hours, only lonely (C major)
My love is vengeance (D major)
That's never (Asus2) free
Verse 2
(E minor) No one knows what it's like (G major)
To feel these (D major) feelings
Like I do (Cadd9)
And I blame you (Asus2)
(E minor) No one bites back as hard (G major)
On their (D major) anger
None of my (Cadd9) pain and woe
Can show (Asus2) through
Chorus 2
But my (C major) dreams (D major)
They aren't as (G major) empty
As my (C major) conscience (D major) seems to be (E major)
I have (B minor) hours, only lonely (C major)
My love is vengeance (D major)
That's never (Asus2) free

(E major) When my fist clenches, (B minor) crack (A major) it open
(E major) Before I use (B minor) it and lose (G major) my cool (D major)
When I smile, (B minor) tell (A major) me some bad (D major) news
Before I laugh (B minor)
and (A major) act like a (E major) fool (B minor) (A major)
(E major) And if I swallow (B minor) anything (A major) evil (E major)
Put your finger (B minor) down (G major) my (D major) throat
And if I shiver, (B minor) please (A major) give me a (D major) blanket
Keep me warm, (B minor)
let me (A major) wear your coat
