I'M SORRY FOR YOU, MY FRIEND

(E)
You've known so long that you were wrong
                       (B7)
But still you had your way

You told her lies and alibis
                       (E)
And hurt her more each day




But now your conscience bothers you
                     (E7)       (A)
You've reached your journey's end
        (B7)
You're asking me for sympathy
                      (E)
I'm Sorry For You, My Friend.




You laughed inside each time she cried
                      (B7)
You tried to make her blue

She tagged along through right and wrong
                        (E)
Because she worshipped you



You know that you're the one to blame
                   (A)
There's no use to pretend
             (B7)
Today's the day you start to pay
                       (E)
I'm Sorry For You, My Friend.




Today as she walked arm in arm
                   (B7)
At someone else's side

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



You should have known you'd be alone
                       (A)
'Cause cheaters never win
     (B7)
You tried and lost, now pay the cost
                      (E)
I'm Sorry For You, My Friend.
