Cm
They came at night
        Gm7/C
Leaving fear behind
 A#/C                G#
Shadows were on the ground.
Cm7                  Gm7/C
Nobody knew where to find him
A#/C             G#/C
No evidence was found.
    Cm7
I'm never coming back
Gm7/C
They heard him cry
A#/C         G#/C
and I Beleive him.
Cm7                  Gm7/C
He never meant to do anything

Wrong, it's gonna get worse if

He waits to long.

Cuz you're not anywhere,
            A#        C#
Where I can find you. Oh!

Searching through the day and into the night
They wouldn't stop till they found him
They didn't know him and they didn't understand
They never asked him why
“Get out of my way”
They heard him shout
Then a blinding light
Ooh, all I could see was him running
down the street
Out of the shadows and into the night

Chorus

Gm         F/G
Don't give up
     D#/G
Keep running
     F/G
Keep hiding.
Gm         F/G
Don't give up
D#/G
Billy if you
F/G
Know you're right.
Gm         F/G
Don't give up
    D#/G
You know that I'm
F/G
On your side.
Gm         F/G
Don't give up
   D#/G
Oh billy....

F/G
You better!
You better
                         G
You better run for your life!

Chorus

They came at night, leaving fear behind
Shadows were on the ground
Nobody knew where to find him,
no evidence was found
“I'm never coming back”
They heard him cry and I believe him
He never meant to do anything wrong
It's gonna get worse if he waits too long

Chorus:
Now Billy, Billy don't you lose my number
Because you're not anywhere
That I can find you, oh
Now Billy, Billy don't you lose my number
Because you're not anywhere that I can find you, oh
