[Verse 1]
A
They say everybody's got a someone
A
A sweet somebody to love
A
It might be fate or destiny
A
May be written in the stars above
    D
But I can't help but wonder
D
After all that I've been through
      A
Maybe my baby's nowhere to be found
A
And I was just born to be blue
     D          E
Oooo Oooo Oooo Oooo

[Verse 2]
      A
Was I born to be unhappy?
A
Just to live on heartache street
A
Was I born to go to bed each night
A
And cry myself to sleep?
      D
Can somebody out there help me?
D
Give me some kind of clue
A
Tell me I'm wrong, tell me I'm right
A
But, don't tell me I was born to be blue
     D         E
Oooo Oooo Oooo Oooo

[Verse 3]
A
They say nobody dies from a heartache
A
You can't drown in your own tears
A
But who wants to live in this world alone
A
Where minutes turn into years?
   D
So I'd rather go down believin'
D
Suffer a heartache or two
 A
Tell me I'm wrong, tell me I'm right
A
But, don't tell me I was born to be blue
     D         E
Oooo Oooo Oooo Oooo

[Outro]
A
Was I born to be blue?
A
Born just to cry?
A
Born to be alone 'til the day I die?
A
Somebody tell me
A
Was I born to be loved?
A
Born to be kissed?
A
Born to find the one to show me what I missed?
A
Was I born to be blue?
A
Born just to cry?
A
Born to be alone 'til the day I die?
A
Tell me, Mama
A
Was I born to be loved?
A
Born to be kissed?
A
Born to find the one to show me what I missed?
