Verse 1
[C]
I used to have a true love
[G] [C]
Everything was fine
[C]
But now she's found a new love
[G] [C]
She's no longer mine
[F]
I thought it was forever
[C] [Am]
But she had other plans
[C]
Now these arms are empty
[G] [C]
And I've got time on my hands
Verse 2
[C]
I turned my collar up
[G] [C]
Kept my eyes turned down
[C]
I walked the empty streets
[G] [C]
The blue side of town
[F]
When she was my baby
[C] [Am]
I was a busy man
[C]
But she slipped through my fingers
[G] [C]
And I've got time on my hands
Chorus
[Am]
Time on my hands

The lesson's been learned

I'm over her now

That bridge has been burned

That bridge has been burned
Verse 3
[C]
So, if you're feeling lonely
[G] [C]
Well, I've been lonely, too
[C]
And you need a one and only
[G] [C]
Who'll be good to you
[F]
A heart that's true and steady
[C] [Am]
Someone who understands
[C]
Well, these two arms are empty
[G] [C]
And I've got time on my hands
