Eyes without a face

Eyes Without a Face is a song by Billy Idol, co-written with guitarist Steve Stevens, and is one of Idols most well-known tracks, noted for its melodic smoothness and the use of female backing vocals in the chorus. The lyrics discuss disillusionment and the quest for authenticity. The title is a reference to the 1960 French film Les Yeux Sans Visage, which inspired Idol after watching it during a sleepless night on tour.

 E7M           C#m7                   G#m7                 B 
I' m all out of hope    One more bad dream could bring a fall
 E7M              C#m7                        G#m7                       B 
When I' m far from home  Don' t call me on the phone To tell me you' re alone
      E7M       C#m7                 G#m7                      B 
It' s easy to deceive  It' s easy to tease  But hard to get release

  A                B                  ( A) 
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face

Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
               G#m7                      E7M     C#m7     G#m7      B 
Got no human grace your eyes without a face.

 E7M              C#m7                      G#m7                        B 
  I spend so much time   believing all the lies   to keep the dream alive
 E7M             C#m7                        G#m7                         B 
 Now it makes me sad    It makes me mad at truth   For loving what was you

  A                B                  ( A) 
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
  A                B                  ( A) 
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
  A                B                   F#m7 
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
               G#m7                      E7M 
Got no human grace your eyes without a face.

 E7M            C#m7                G#m7              B 
 Now I close my eyes  And I wonder why  I don' t despise
 E7M          C#m7                    G#m7                   B 
 Now all I can do   Is love what was once    So alive and new
                         G#m7                        B 
But it' s gone from your eyes        I' d better realize

  A                B                  ( A) 
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face

Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
  A                B                   F#m7 
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
               G#m7                      F#m7 
Got no human grace your eyes without a face.
              G#m7                       E7M 
Such a human waste your eyes without a face                   And now it' s getting worse
