[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G
Kick my shoe off, take my sock off, pull my pant off

And I find my pajama and put it on
C
Then I crawl into the bed and I cry my eye out
G D G
Now that my better half is gone
[Verse 2]
C G
I just lay there and as I lay there, my arms feel so empty
G
And my lip longs to kiss her all night long
C
If I had the gut, I'd blow my brain out
G D G
Now that my better half is gone
[Bridge]
C
I was a whole man when I was with her
G
Now I'm a plier, I'm a scissor
A C
Half this, half that, half slow, half fast
G C
Oh, I've got the blue and I'm up to my elbow in heartache
G D G
Now that my better half is gone
[Outro]
N.C. G D G
One, three, four, two, now that my better half is gone
