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

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
