x2 Verse 1 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 G#m B F# Late to admit that he's afraid. Chorus B G#m F# Tomorrow comes. Sorrow becomes his soul mate. B G#m F# The damage is done. The prodigal son is too late. G#m B F# Old doors are closed but he's always open, G#m B F# To relive time in his mind. Oh Billy.
