 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
          Cadd9           D
To relive time in his mind, oh Billy.

VERSE

 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 its his fate, he admits
             Cadd9                         D
He took too long to admit that he was wrong.

CHORUS

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
          Cadd9           D
To relive time in his mind, oh Billy.

BRIDGE

 Cadd9               Em
Once he was a lover sleeping with another.
 G                            D
Now he's just known as a cheat.
       Cadd9
And he wish he'd had a mirror
 Em
Looked a little clearer.
 G                           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
          Cadd9           D
To relive time in his mind, oh Billy.
