Badman's Song Tears for Fears
Heard every word that was said that night
When the [Bb]light of the world put the [F]world [Bb]to [C]right
[Bb]Here's to the boys back in 628
Where an [F]ear to the wall was a [Bb]twist [F]of [C]fate
[Dm]I will shine a blinding light
[Eb]Through those hearts as black as night
[F]Sticks and stones may break my bones
But at [C]least the seeds of [Bb]love will be [C]sown
[Bbmaj7]Once in awhile when I feel no shame
I get [C]down on my knees and I pray for rain
The [Bbmaj7]breeze blows gently while I state my case
There'll be [C]certain men waiting just to scratch my face
[Bbmaj7]Hand on my heart I will make a stand
For the [C]life and the times of the mirror man
[Bb]In my [Bbmaj7]head, [C]there is a mirror
[Bb]When I've been [Bbmaj7]bad, [C]I've been wrong
[Bb]Food for the [Bbmaj7]saints that are [C]quick to judge me
[Eb]Hope for a bad man
[Bb]This is the badman's [C]song
[Bbmaj7]Guilt in the frame of the looking-glass
Puts a [C]shine on the mind where reflections pass
Where the [Bbmaj7]jigsaw pieces of a broken man
[C]Try and fit themselves together again
[Bbmaj7]Lies in disguise in the name of trust
Put your [C]head in the sand it will turn to dust
[Bbmaj7]What's your problem ? What's your curse ?
[C]Won't it make the matter worse ?
[Bb]In my [Bbmaj7]head, [C]there is a mirror
[Bb]When I've been[Bbmaj7] bad, [C]I've been wrong
[Bb]Food for the [Bbmaj7]saints that are [C]quick to judge me
[Eb]Hope for a bad man
[Bb]This is the bad man's [C]song
They say [Eb]faith can move move mountains
[C]Fire can cleanse your soul
[Eb]Faith can move mountains
[C]But mind over matter won't you stop all your chatter
(Piano solo)
[Bbmaj7]Sweet talking boys who can do no wrong
When the [C]stories are tall as the day is long
With such a [Bbmaj7]thin drawn between friend and foe
[C]Lord help me now and bless my soul
[Bbmaj7]Look at yourself - See how you lie
Your [C]hands start shaking and you don't know why
[Bbmaj7]Look at yourself - See how you lie
Your [C]hands start shaking and you don't know why
[Bb]Food for the [Bbmaj7]saints that are [C]quick to judge me
[Eb]Hope for a bad man
[Bb]This is the badman's [C]song
