E            A           A7
I've saved a place in my heart
         D          A
For your warm sweet embrace
                   Amaj7    A6    Amaj7
I've saved a place    by my side
    E      Bm     E     Bm
For you ooh -------oooh---ooh 
E        A                     A7
And your farewell just for the record
A          D       Dm
Sounded so sincere 
        A          F♯    B7
And the girl on my left
           E            A      D   A
Is looking better every beer.

E            A                  A7
I've done my time, I've paid my dues
        D                A
Just to see the skies of blue
                E/G♯    F♯m   F♯m/E
It's just as hard being lonely
      B7            E
As it is to be with you.
             A                A7       A               D    Dm
And when you parted, you just knew I'd drown in my own tears
        A          F♯    B7
And the girl on my left
           E            A       D    A
Is looking better every beer.


Chorus
     A7    D           Dm          A
I've given up, feeling sorry for myself
                B
I've still some pride left in me
    Bm                E
And I'll find someone else.


E            A           A7
I've saved a place in my heart
         D          A
For your warm sweet embrace
                  Amaj7   A6    Amaj7
I've saved a place by my side
    E      Bm     E     Bm
For you ooh -------oooh---ooh 
E        A                      A7
And your farewell; just for the record
A          D       Dm
Sounded so sincere 
        A          F♯    B7
And the girl on my left
           E            A      Dm   A   G♯6add9   [ch]A6add9[/ch] 
Is looking better every beer.
