I'm sorry for you, my friend

[e] you've known so long that you were wrong

But still you had your [b7] way

You told her lies and alibis

And hurt her more each [e] day

But now your conscience bothers you

You've reached your [e7] journey's [a] end

You're [b7] asking me for sympathy

I'm sorry for you, my [e] friend.



You laughed inside each time she cried

You tried to make her blue

She tagged along through right and wrong

Because she worshipped you

You know that you're the one to blame

There's no use to pretend

Today's the day you start to pay

I'm sorry for you, my friend.



Today as she walked arm in arm

At someone else's side

It made you stop and realize

That time has turned the tide

You should have known you'd be alone

'cause cheaters never win

You tried and lost, now pay the cost

I'm sorry for you, my friend.
