Intro: Dm C G X4

Verse1:
Em                  Am    Em               Am
  Oh, my friend loneliness, where have you been
    Bm          C           G         F         C
You left to the lure of the lover who left me alone
Em                Am           Em                 Am
  Now you've come crawling back, and I'll let you in
          Bm             C               G         F            C
And we'll slip back into grooves that we cut in ourselves long ago

Chorus:
C                   Dm           C             G 
But there must be a better half, somewhere out there
            Dm             C         G
She lives a better life, a life that shares
              Dm            C          G                           Dm   C   G
Shares with a better man, a man who is there when she calls in the night 
                  Dm C G              
Who says hey it's alright

Verse 2:
Em           Am      Em               Am 
  Oh my dear distance, I've met you before
Bm            C           G         F           C
Longing for a lover who's lost on a far distant shore
Em           Am      Em               Am
  Oh my imperfections, are all that remain
    Bm            C                G                   F                 C
The days when I'd love you and I'd leave you and you'd wish that I would stay

Chorus:
C                   Dm           C             G 
But there must be a better half, somewhere out there
            Dm             C         G
She lives a better life, a life that shares
              Dm            C          G                           Dm   C   G
Shares with a better man, a man who is there when she calls in the night 
                  Dm C G
Who says hey it's alright              

Bridge:
E                      F                      E                       F
 I know what she looks like, her face and her skin, her smell and the rest
E                       F                      C           Bb       F
 I know the feel of her soul but God help me I just cannot find her address
                 C             Gm          F                     C            Gm         F
Oh I've how I've tried but now all that is left is my old friend distance and sweet loneliness

Chorus: (different from the others)
C               Gm           F             C 
There must be a better half, somewhere out there
            Gm             F         C
She lives a better life, a life that shares
              Gm            F          C                           Gm   F   C
Shares with a better man, a man who is there when she calls in the night 
                  Gm F C            Gm F C            Gm F C
Who says hey it's alright, hey it's alright, hey it's alright
              
Ending: Gm F C X2
