James Blunt - Billy
(As James plays the track live)
Capo 3
[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.
