[Intro]
Em G D x2
[Verse 1]
Em G D Billy's leaving today (don't know where he's going). Em G D Holds his head in disgrace (he can't escape the truth). Em G D He knows the price that he's paid.
He admits that it's too
C9 D Late to admit that he's afraid.
[Chorus]
G Em D Tomorrow comes. Sorrow becomes his soul mate. G Em D The damage is done. The prodigal son is too late. Em G D Old doors are closed but he's always open, C9 D To relive time in his mind.
Oh Billy.
Em G D x2
[Verse 2]
Em G D Billy's leaving today (don't know where he's going). Em G D He's got lines on his face (they tell the story of his pain). Em G D He accepts it's his fate.
He admits it took too
C9 D Long to admit that he was wrong.
[Chorus]
G Em D Tomorrow comes. Sorrow becomes his soul mate. G Em D The damage is done. The prodigal son is too late. Em G D Old doors are closed but he's always open, C9 D To relive time in his mind.
Oh Billy.
Em G D x2
[Bridge]
C9 Em Once he was a lover sleeping with another. G D Now he's just known as a cheat. C9 Em And he wish he'd had a mirror; looked a little clearer. G D Seen into the eyes of the weak. C9 Em Once he was a lover sleeping with another. G D Now he's just known as a cheat. C9 And he wish he'd had a mirror; looked a little clearer. D Seen into the eyes of the weak.
[Chorus]
G Em D Tomorrow comes. Sorrow becomes his soul mate. G Em D The damage is done. The prodigal son is too late. Em G D Old doors are closed but he's always open, C9 D To relive time in his mind.
Oh Billy.
Em G D x2
Zither.
