Cm                 Gm7/C
They came at night leaving fear behind
Bb/C               Ab/C
Shadows all on the ground
 
(similar)

Nobody knew where to find him

No evidence was found

"I'm never coming back"

They heard him cry

And I believe him
 

Cm                        Gm7/C
Well he never meant to do anything wrong
Fm                        Ab        Bb
It's gonna get worse if he waits too long
Eb                     Fm7     Db
Billy, Billy don't you lose my number
Ab             Cm
Cos you're not anywhere
               Bb
That I can find you
Db
Oh now 
 
Billy, Billy don't you lose my number

Cos you're not anywhere that I can find you, oh no
 
Searching through the day and into the night

They wouldn't stop till they found him

They didn't know him and they didn't understand

They never asked him why

"Get out of my way"

They heard him shout

Then a blinding light

Ooh all I could see was him running down the street

Out of the shadows and into the night

Now Billy, Billy don't you lose my number

Cos you're not anywhere

That I can find you, oh

Now Billy, Billy don't you lose my number

Cos you're not anywhere that I can find you, oh
 

Gm        F/G
Don't give up
     Eb/G          F/G
Keep running, keep hiding

Don't give up

Billy, if you know you're right

Don't give up

You know that I am on your side

Don't give up oh Billy, 
 

F/G
you better, you better, 
                        G
you better run for your life
Now Billy, Billy don't you lose my number
Cos you're not anywhere
That I can find you, oh
Now Billy, Billy don't you lose my number
Cos you're not anywhere that I can find you, oh

They came at night leaving fear behind
Shadows were on the ground
Nobody knew where to find him
No evidence was found
"I'm never coming back"
They heard him cry
And I believe him
He never meant to do anything wrong
It's gonna get worse if he waits too long

Now Billy, Billy don't you lose my number
Cos you're not anywhere
That I can find you, oh
Now Billy, Billy don't you lose my number
Cos you're not anywhere that I can find you, oh
