G#mBF#
Billy's leaving today (don't know where he's going).
G#mBF#
Holds his head in disgrace (he can't escape the truth).

He knows the price that he's paid.

Late to admit that he's afraid.
Chorus
BG#mF#
Tomorrow comes. Sorrow becomes his soul mate.
BG#mF#
The damage is done. The prodigal son is too late.
G#mBF#
Old doors are closed but he's always open,
G#mBF#
To relive time in his mind.
Oh Billy.

G#mB
Once he was a lover sleeping with another.

Now he's just known as a cheat.

And he wish he'd had a mirror; looked a little clearer.

Seen into the eyes of the weak.
