Verse 1
[G#m]Billy's[B] leaving t[F#]oday (don't know where he's going).
[G#m]Holds his he[B]ad in disg[F#]race (he can't escape the truth).
[G#m]He knows the price[B] that he's paid.[F#]
He admits that it's too
[G#m]Late to[B] admit that he's afrai[F#]d.
Chorus
Tomorrow [B]comes. Sorrow [G#m]becomes his soul[F#] mate.
The damage is [B]done. The prodigal [G#m]son is too late[F#].
Old [G#m]doors are closed but [B]he's always [F#]open,
To relive [G#m]time in his mind[B].[F#]
Oh Billy.

Bridge
[G#m]Once he was a lover [B]sleeping with another.
[F#]Now he's just known as a cheat.
And he [G#m]wish he'd had a mirror; [B]looked a little clearer.
[F#]Seen into the eyes of the weak.
