What becomes of the broken-hearted        (midi)

 

   G                                    Bm

1.   As I walk this land of broken dreams,

Em                            C

    I have visions of many things.

G                            Bm

    But happiness is just an illusion,

Em                              C          D

    filled with sadness and confusion.

  

A                                      Dbm

    What becomes of the broken-hearted,

F#m                             D

    who has love that's now departed?

    A                                 Dbm

    I know I've got to find some kind of peace of mind,

     Db        D   C    - D

    maybe, oh yeah !

 

   G                                    Bm

2.   The roots of love grow all around,

Em                                      C

     but for me they come a tumbling down.

G                                      Bm

    Every day heartaches grow a little stronger,

Em                           C            Am

    I can't stand this pain much longer.

    G                               Bm

3.     I walk in shadows searching for light,

Em                             C

    cold and alone no comfort in sight.

G                                       Bm

    Hoping and praying for someone who cares,

Em                               C       D

   always moving and going nowhere.  + CHORUS

 

   G                                     Bm

4.    I'm searching though I don't succeed,

Em                                              C

    for someone's love there's a growing need.

G                                  Bm

    All is lost there's no place for beginning,

Em                            C            D

    all that's left is an unhappy ending.

G                                     Bm

    What becomes of the broken-hearted.

Em                                C

    who has love that's now departed.

G                                    Bm

    I know I've got to find some kind of peace of mind

Em                                              C

    I'll be searching everywhere, just to find someone to care,

G                                            Bm

    I'll be looking every day, I know I'm gonna find a way.

Em                                                  C

    Nothings going to stop me now,       I'll find a way somehow.

G                                        Em

    I'll be looking every day, I know I'm gonna find a way.....
