D MajorD
You've known so long that you were wrong
            A7A7
But still you had your way

You told her lies and alibis
            D MajorD
And hurt her more each day

But now your conscience bothers you
          D7D7    G+G
You've reached your journeys end
    A7A7
You're asking me for sympathy
           D MajorD
I'm sorry for you my friend


You laughed inside each time she cried
           A7A7
You tried to make her blue

She tagged along through right and wrong
            D MajorD
Because she worshipped you


You know that you're the one to blame
      D7D7    G+G
There's no use to pretend
    A7A7
Today's the day you start to pay
           D MajorD
I'm sorry for you my friend

D MajorD
Today as she walked arm in arm
         A7A7
At someone else's side

It made you stop and realize
             D MajorD
That time has turned the tide


You should have known you'd be alone
        D7D7  G+G
Cause cheaters never win
  A7A7
You tried and lost now pay the cost
           D MajorD
I'm sorry for you my friend
