C G C
I am feeling lost in my own town
C G C
And there's no place I want to settle down
Am G
I am lost without a love
Am G
or an answer from above
F G C
does someone know an easier way out
C G C
And in my darkest hour of despair
C G C
I'm only glad she wasn't there
Am G
See me as the lights went out
Am G
and all that I could think about
F G C
was where she was and does she really care
Chorus:
F C G
Billy died of a broken heart
F C G
Couldn't bear to be apart
F G C
from the one he loved too much
F C G
Billy died of a broken heart
F C G
Couldn't bear to be apart
F G C
from the one he loved too much
When I break out of this iron cast
I'll lay all of my ghosts in the past
Friends that I thought I knew
Where were you when I needed you
And lovers that had torn me apart
It seems the more I chase the further you run
Faster than a bullet from a gun
That shot me through this heart of stone
Now all that's left is skin and bones
I tell you this is the end for me
Chorus:
Billy died of a broken heart
Couldn't bear to be apart
from the one he loved too much
Billy died of a broken heart
Couldn't bear to be apart
from the one he loved too much
