  half the time and all the time   don't know if it's true

     repeat bridge
     Someday somewhere he'll know if it's true
     She'll look inside her heart and then decide it's really you
the "you" is drawn out, and the last part of the bridge, in F is repeated 
4 times

outro
repeat riff 2 four times
on the last time:

if you (D)let it (E)in your (A)heart  (G) (F#m7) (F#Maj7+5) (A)


*  in the recorded version of the song, he's "lonesome for love", but in an 
acoustic demo I've heard he's "lonesome for home".  I much prefer the 
"lonesome for home" bit but, hey, Cheap Trick always had the corniest 
lyrics.  Still do.  I wouldn't like them so much if they didn't.  :)

Bitch to learn, bitch to tab, but well worth it.
