Killers Eyes chords by The Kinks

B             C#7
I see so little hope in you, With so much despair
    E               E        B
As I look in your eyes I wonder what thoughts linger there
 B                 C#7
Life means nothing to you, At least that's what they say
     E                   B
But it doesn't mean that you have the right to take life away


     C#m                     G#m
How were we to know, What was going on inside your mind
     C#m
You never let it show, What was going on behind

 B    C#7         E    B
.............. Those killer's eyes

     B     C#7    E    B
Killer's eyes


E                B
You've seen your picture in the paper
C#m
You're little sister's pinned it on the wall
E                 B
She thinks you're in some kind of movie
C#m
Imagine her surprise, when she saw you on the news

Reporters came around and asked for interviews


B           C#7
So little compassion, so icy cool
   E                   B
They say you were a poor boy, you know that life can be cruel
B                  C#7
Hate builds up from childhood, your world was a slum
     E               B
But you haven't got the right to blow it to kingdom come


C#m                            G#m
How could we know, What it was like inside a killer's mind
     C#m
It never really showed, You kept the secret deep inside

B    C#7          E    B
.............. Those killer's eyes

     B     C#7    E    B
Killer's eyes


       B
You say the world is full of bullshit
    C#7
So you kill just as you see fit
   E                B
They say that you're a fanatic with a mission
  B            C#7
We all go through Hell, in some kind of way
     E                 B
Can you tell me what it's like to be there every day?

(actual song has a key change here)
E                B
When you were young you had a vision
C#m
Why'd you go and do a thing like that?
E               B
And now we see you on the television
C#m
Imagine our surprise, when we saw you on the news

And reporters came around and asked for interviews

   B            C#7
I see so little hope in you, So much despair
   E                B
As I look in your eyes I wonder what thoughts linger there
B                   C#7
Life means nothing to you, At least that's what they say
     E                   B
But it doesn't mean that you have the right to take life away

        C#m                          G#m
When you were just a child, You'd hide away when other children cried
       C#m                            B
But how were we to know, These tears that flowed were from a killer's eyes

B  C#7  E   B

   B           C#7
I see so little hope in you, So much despair
   E                 E       B
As I look in your eyes I wonder, What thoughts linger there
 B                  C#7
Life means nothing to you, At least that's what they say
     E                   B
But it doesn't mean that you have the right to take life away


B  C#7          E    B
