Tears for Fears - Badman's Song

      
 
 Heard every word that was said that night
          F                          C     F  G    
 When the light of the world put the world to right
 F                             
 Here's to the boys back in 628
          C                     F     C  G   
 Where an ear to the wall was a twist of fate
 Am                           
 I will shine a blinding light
 Bb                                    
 Through those hearts as black as night
 C                                   
 Sticks and stones may break my bones
        G                  F            G   
 But at least the seeds of love will be sown
 Fmaj7                              
 Once in awhile when I feel no shame
       G                                   
 I get down on my knees and I pray for rain
     Fmaj7                                    
 The breeze blows gently while I state my case
             G                                          
 There'll be certain men waiting just to scratch my face
 Fmaj7                               
 Hand on my heart I will make a stand
         G                                   
 For the life and the times of the mirror man
 F     Fmaj7 G                
 In my head, there is a mirror
 F              Fmaj7 G              
 When I've been bad, I've been wrong
 F            Fmaj7           G                
 Food for the saints that are quick to judge me
 Bb                
 Hope for a bad man
 F                    G   
 This is the badman's song
 Fmaj7                                  
 Guilt in the frame of the looking-glass
        G                                       
 Puts a shine on the mind where reflections pass
           Fmaj7                        
 Where the jigsaw pieces of a broken man
 G                                    
 Try and fit themselves together again
 Fmaj7                                
 Lies in disguise in the name of trust
          G                                    
 Put your head in the sand it will turn to dust
 Fmaj7                                    
 What's your problem ? What's your curse ?
 G                               
 Won't it make the matter worse ?
 
 F     Fmaj7 G                
 In my head, there is a mirror
 F             Fmaj7 G              
 When I've been bad, I've been wrong
 F            Fmaj7           G                
 Food for the saints that are quick to judge me
 Bb                
 Hope for a bad man
 F                     G   
 This is the bad man's song
 
          Bb                           
 They say faith can move move mountains
 G                         
 Fire can cleanse your soul
 Bb                      
 Faith can move mountains
 G                                                   
 But mind over matter won't you stop all your chatter
 
 (Piano solo)
 
 Fmaj7                                 
 Sweet talking boys who can do no wrong
          G                                  
 When the stories are tall as the day is long
             Fmaj7                            
 With such a thin drawn between friend and foe
 G                                 
 Lord help me now and bless my soul
 Fmaj7                             
 Look at yourself - See how you lie
      G                                         
 Your hands start shaking and you don't know why
 Fmaj7                             
 Look at yourself - See how you lie
      G                                         
 Your hands start shaking and you don't know why
 
 F            Fmaj7           G                
 Food for the saints that are quick to judge me
 Bb                
 Hope for a bad man
 F                    G   
 This is the badman's song
