A A7 D A
Now, blue ain't the word for the way that I feel
E
There's a storm brewin' in this heart of mine
A A7 D A
This ain't no crazy dream, I know that it's real
E A D A
You're someone else's love now, you're not mine
 
Refrain
A A7 D A
Crazy arms that reach to hold somebody new
E
But my burnin' heart keeps sayin' you're not mine
A A7 D A
My troubled mind knows soon, to another you'll be wed
E A
And that's why I'm lonely all the time
A A7 D A
Please take these treasured dreams I had for you and me
E
And take all the love I thought was mine
A A7 D A
Someday these crazy arms may hold somebody new
E A
But now I'm so lonely all the time
 
Refrain
A A7 D A
Crazy arms that reach to hold somebody new
E
But my yearning heart keeps sayin' you're not mine

My troubled mind knows soon, to another you'll be wed

And that's why I'm lonely all the time
