discrace, (he can't escape the truth). He knows the price that he's paid. He
                       (E)                         (F#6) (F#)
admits that it's too late to admit that he's afraid.

to relieve time in his mind. Oh Billy.

(F#)               (E)                        (F#6) (F#)
admits it took too long to admit he was wrong.
