  			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.
