[Verse]
          F#            A#m           F#    A#
I spent a dirty weekend practicing my French
     F#               A#m           F#        B
Rosy cheeked I saw my limitations there in evidence
         F#              A#           F#               A#
When I invited Frank and you, back to mine for a mange tout
       F#             A#m
When I meant ménage à trois
                B                                       D#
You laughed so hard you cracked your chin against the bar

[Chorus]
D#m
This statement might sound phoney
G#m
But I miss you

And I'm lonely
B
I miss you, I'm lonely

[Instrumental]
F# A#m F# A#m F# A#m B

[Verse]
           F#            A#m
Oh God how wonderful it is
           F#            A#m
Crossing bridges in the mist
F#
Øresund across the Tejo
A#           B
Behind on aggregate away
F#                       A#
But Benfica still went through
               F#         A#
And we still spent an afternoon
        F#         A#
At the Gulbenkian museum
          B                              D#
Sharing stories in the shade, oh what a day

[Chorus]
D#m
This statement might sound phoney
G#
But I miss you

And I'm lonely
B
I miss you, I'm lonely, I miss you, I'm lonely

(Distance stretches on and on and on)
D#m
And I know it gets frustrating
            G#m
But I really don't mind waiting
B
I miss you, I'm lonely, I miss you, I'm lonely 

[Interlude](Soft strum, built up)
F#  C#

[Verse]
F#         A#
I look at you
            D#m                 A#            B
And I am confident that I'd rather look at you
               F#            C#
Than all the portraits in existence in the world
B                 A#m              B
Except possibly O'Hara by Grace Hartigan
      A#m
Or something else
     B        A#
I'm not a connoisseur
         B              A#
I'm monolingual, and absurd and I know

[Chorus]
B               A#
This statement might sound phoney
B
But I miss you
A#
And I'm lonely
B
I miss you
A#
I'm lonely
B
Distance stretches on and on and on
