James Blunt illy

(As James plays the track live)

♪ Capo 3

[Intro]

x2

[Verse 1]

illy’s leaving today (don’t know where he’s going).
Holds his head in disgrace (he can’t escape the truth).
He knows the price that he’s paid.
He admits that it’s too
Late to admit that he’s afraid.

[Chorus]

Tomorrow comes. Sorrow becomes his soul mate.
The damage is done. The prodigal son is too late.
Old doors are closed but he’s always open,
To relive time in his mind.
Oh Billy

x2

[Verse 2]

illy’s leaving today (don’t know where he’s going).
He’s got lines on his face (they tell the story of his pain).
He accepts it’s his fate.
He admits it took too
Long to admit that he was wrong.

[Chorus]

Tomorrow comes. Sorrow becomes his soul mate.
The damage is done. The prodigal son is too late.
Old doors are closed but he’s always open,
To relive time in his mind.
Oh Billy

Em G D x2

[Bridge]

Once he was a lover sleeping with another.
Now he’s just known as a cheat.
nd he wish he’d had a mirror; looked a little clearer.
Seen into the eyes of the weak.

Once he was a lover sleeping with another.
Now he’s just known as a cheat.

[Chorus]

The damage is done. The prodigal son is too late.
Old doors are closed but he’s always open,
To relive time in his mind.
Oh Billy
