I'm sorry for you, my friend Recorded by hank williams, sr. Written by hank williams, sr. [e] you've known so long that you were wrong But still you had your [b7] way You told her lies and alibis And hurt her more each [e] day But now your conscience bothers you You've reached your [e7] journey's [a] end You're [b7] asking me for sympathy I'm sorry for you, my [e] friend. You laughed inside each time she cried You tried to make her blue She tagged along through right and wrong Because she worshipped you You know that you're the one to blame There's no use to pretend Today's the day you start to pay I'm sorry for you, my friend. Today as she walked arm in arm At someone else's side It made you stop and realize That time has turned the tide You should have known you'd be alone 'cause cheaters never win You tried and lost, now pay the cost I'm sorry for you, my friend.
