As recorded by Merle Haggard & Bonnie Owens (From the 1966 Album JUST BETWEEN THE TWO OF US) [Intro] C D7 G [Verse 1]
G                                             C
I don't thrill you like I used to do, there's something on your mind

                 D7              G
Now you treat me cold instead of warm

                            G7                C
And you're not just not the same old you that I used to call mine

                    D7             G7
And you feel like a stranger in my arms
[Chorus]
C                                G               G7
When I hold you close to me, you still seem far away

  C                                    G                  D7
I tried my best to bring you back, but something's in the way

    G                              C
And even when I'm kissing you, I'm missing all your charms

                    D7             G    G7
And you feel like a stranger in my arms
[Pedal Steel Solo] C D7 G [Verse 2]
G                                           C
I don't see the love light in your eyes for me no more

                  D7                G
The flame is cold that used to burn so warm

                              G7              C
There's a strangeness in your ways I've never known before

                    D7          G
And you feel like a stranger in my arms
[Chorus]
C                                G               G7
When I hold you close to me, you still seem far away

  C                                    G                  D7
I tried my best to bring you back, but something's in the way

    G                              C
And even when I'm kissing you, I'm missing all your charms

                    D7             G
And you feel like a stranger in my arms

    C               D7             G
And you feel like a stranger in my arms
