[verse 1]

A                        Amaj7
As I walk this land with broken dreams
Gbm                          A  Bm  A
I have visions of many things
    A           Amaj7
But happiness is just an illusion
Gbm                 Abm   G
Filled with sadness and confusion

[Chorus 1]

B                   Ebm
What becomes of the broken-hearted
Abm                 B   Dbm
Who had love that's now departed
B       Ebm
I know I've got to find
Abm          B
Some kind of peace of mind
Gb Gb7 E   Gbm Bm A
Maybe...

[Verse 2]

A                      Amaj7
The roots of love grow all around
Gbm                                  A Bm A
But for me they come a-tumblin' down
A                    Amaj7
Every day heartaches grow a little stronger
Am                 D7                A Bm A
I can't stand this pain much longer
A                  Amaj7
I walk in shadows searching for light
Gbm                                  A Bm A
Cold and alone, no comfort in sight
A                       Amaj7
Hoping and praying for someone to care
Gbm               Abm   G
Always moving and goin' nowhere

[Chorus 2]

B                   Ebm
What becomes of the broken-hearted
Abm                 B   Dbm
Who had love that's now departed
B       Ebm
I know I've got to find
Abm          B
Some kind of peace of mind
Gb Gb7 E   Gbm Bm A
Help me...

[verse 3]

A                       Amaj7
I'm searching, though I don't succeed
Gbm                                      A Bm A
But someone look, there's a growing need
A                       Amaj7
Oh, he is lost, there's no place for beginning
Am                    D7             A Bm A
All that's left is an unhappy ending.

[outro]

A                   Amaj7
Now what becomes of the broken-hearted
Gbm                               Bm A
Who had love that's now departed?
A
I know I've got to find
Amaj7
Some kind of peace of mind
Gbm                                                        Bm A
I'll be searching everywhere, Just to find someone to care
A                         Amaj7
I'll be looking everyday, I know I'm gonna find a way
Gbm                                                  Bm A
Nothing's gonna stop me now, I'll find a way somehow
A                                 Amaj7
And I'll be searching everywhere, I know I gotta find a way
Gbm
I'll be looking...
