G#m B F# Billy's leaving today (don't know where he's going). 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 it's too E F# Late to admit that he's afraid. Chorus: B G#m F# Tomorrow comes. Sorrow becomes his soul mate. B The damage is done. G#m F# The prodigal son is too late. G#m B F# Old doors are closed but he's always open, E F# To relive time in his mind. Oh Billy. Billy's leaving today Don't know where he's going He's got lines on his face They tell the story of his pain He accepts it's his fate He admits it took too long to admit that he was wrong Chorus E G#m Once he was a lover sleeping with another. B F# Now he's just known as a cheat. E And he wish he'd had a mirror; G#m looked a little clearer. B F# Seen into the eyes of the weak. E G#m Once he was a lover sleeping with another. B F# Now he's just known as a cheat. E And he wish he'd had a mirror; looked a little clearer. F# Seen into the eyes of the weak.
