Note the key change towards the end of the track. Any feedback, comments, criticism, rating, etc would be very welcome as this would help me ensure that all the TABs I post are as complete and accurate as possible. [Intro] Dm C G x4 [Verse 1]
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
