#1.
A C#m
As I walk this land of broken dreams,
F#m D E
I have visions of many things.
A C#m
But happiness is just an illusion,
F#m D E
filled with sadness and confusion.
CHORUS:
B D#m
What becomes of the broken-hearted,
G#m E
who has love that's now departed?
B D#m
I know I've got to find some kind of peace of mind,
D# E D E
maybe, oh yeah!
#2.
A C#m
The roots of love grow all around,
F#m D E
but for me they come a tumbling down.
A C#m
Every day heartaches grow a little stronger,
F#m D Bm
I can't stand this pain much longer.
#3.
A C#m
I walk in shadows searching for light,
F#m D E
cold and alone no comfort in sight.
A C#m
Hoping and praying for someone who cares,
F#m D E
always moving and going nowhere.
CHORUS:
#4.
A C#m
I'm searching though I don't succeed,
F#m D E
for someone's love there's a growing need.
A C#m
All is lost there's no place for beginning,
F#m D E
all that's left is an unhappy ending.
CHORUS:
A C#m
What becomes of the broken-hearted.
F#m D E
who has love that's now departed.
A C#m
I know I've got to find some kind of peace of mind
F#m D E
I'll be searching everywhere, just to find someone to care,
A C#m
I'll be looking every day, I know I'm gonna find a way.
F#m D E
Nothings going to stop me now..I'll find a way somehow.
A F#m D E A
I'll be looking every day, I know I'm gonna find a way...
