D
You've known so long that you were wrong
A7
But still you had your way
You told her lies and alibis
D
And hurt her more each day
But now your conscience bothers you
D7 G
You've reached your journeys end
A7
You're asking me for sympathy
D
I'm sorry for you my friend
You laughed inside each time she cried
A7
You tried to make her blue
She tagged along through right and wrong
D
Because she worshipped you
You know that you're the one to blame
D7 G
There's no use to pretend
A7
Today's the day you start to pay
D
I'm sorry for you my friend

Instrumental part; basically two verses.

D
Today as she walked arm in arm
A7
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
D7 G
Cause cheaters never win
A7
You tried and lost now pay the cost
D
I'm sorry for you my friend
