i.e. the used chords G#m B and F# would change to 
                    (Em)(G)   (D)

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.

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