Frank Turner - Better Half
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]
