Elton John – Billy And The Kids (Guitar)

  C                    C/D
  Nothing looks as bad

E7
  After staying up all night

Am                                     Am Em7/G
  And the cruel words that cut you down

D/F#
  I never meant to write

                       C     C F/C C
  And what came out as anger

                        F
  Oh was a lack of self control

  C/E             F
  Billy won't you hold me

  C/E  F   C/G      C
  Once be--fore you go

  C                      C/D
  Clever lies keep coming

E7
  Some men never change

Am                                 Am Em7/G
  I'm a hand that's raised in anger

D/F#
  The blow that causes pain

                      C     C F/C C
  But I just can't be trusted

                      F
  With a bottle and a child

  C/E           F
  Billy it's no wonder

  C/E F        C/G   C
  You say I've never tried

      C
Oh so leave me now, Oh don't turn around

         G                                 G7
It's the best thing you ever did, But it's hard for me to say goodbye

         C
To Billy and the kids

         C
Oh don't leave me now, Oh don't turn around

         F                   D7/F#
It's the best thing you ever did

         C              F
But it's hard for me to say goodbye

         C/G     C
To Billy and the kids

                     C     C F/C C
And what came out as anger

                      F
Oh was a lack of self control

C/E             F
Billy won't you hold me

C/E  F   C/G      C
Once be--fore you go
