Intro: Dm C G (4x)

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

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

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

Who says hey it's alright, hey it's alright, hey it's alright
