Billy's leaving today, don't know where he's goin'
|G#m B |F# |
Holds his head in disgrace, he can't escape the truth
|G#m B |F# |
He knows the price that he's paid, he admits that
|E |F#6 F# |
it’s too late to admit that he's afraid
|B G#m |F# |B G#m |F# |
Tomorrow comes, sorrow becomes his soul mate, the damage is done, the prodigal son is too late
|G#m B |F# |E |F# - - D#/G |
Old doors are closed, but he's always open, to relive time in his mind, oh, Billy
|G#m B |F# |G#m B |F# |
|G#m B |F# |
Billy's leaving today, don't know where he's going
|G#m B |F# |
He's got lines on his face, they tell a story of
|G#m B |F# |E |F#6 F# |
his pain, he accepts it's his fate, he admits it took too long to admit that he was wrong
|B G#m |F# |B G#m |F# |
Tomorrow comes, sorrow becomes his soul mate, the damage is done, the prodigal son is too late
|G#m B |F# |E |F# - - D#/G |
Old doors are closed, but he's always open, to relive time in his mind, oh, Billy
|G#m B |F# |G#m B |F# |
|E G#m |B F# |
Once he was a lover sleeping with another, now, he's just known as a cheat
|E G#m |B F# |
And he wished he'd had a mirror looked a little clearer, seen into the eyes of the weak
|E G#m |B F# |
Yeah, once he was a lover sleeping with another, now, he's just known as a cheat
|E |F#6 F# |
And he wished he'd had a mirror looked a little clearer, seen into the eyes of the weak
|B G#m |F# |B G#m |F# |
Tomorrow comes, sorrow becomes his soul mate, the damage is done, the prodigal son is too late
|G#m B |F# |E |F# - - D#/G |
Old doors are closed, but he's always open, to relive time in his mind, oh, Billy
|G#m B |F# |G#m B |F# |
Oh, Billy
