[Verse 1]
Emaj7
I can think of younger days when living for my life
F#m                Emaj7
Was everything a man could want to do
Ab                 C#m
I could never see tomorrow
F#                    B
But I was never told about the sorrow


[Chorus 1]
Emaj7
And how can you mend a broken heart?
F#m
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
        A           B   A             B
Tell me how can you stop the sun from shining?
A              Abm   F#m   Emaj7
What makes the world go round?

[Chorus 2]
Emaj7
How can you mend this broken man?
F#m
How can a loser ever win?
                A       B       A      B   A            Abm  F#m  Emaj7
Somebody please help me mend my broken heart and let me live again


[Bridge]
         F#m   Emaj7
La La La Laaaa La


[Verse 2]
Emaj7
I can still feel the breeze that rustles through the trees
F#m                             Emaj7
And misty memories of days gone by
Ab                 C#m
We could never see tomorrow
                  F#
Would you believe that no one
                   B
No one said a word about the sorrow

[Chorus 1]
   Emaj7
So how can you mend a broken heart?(and mine is)
F#m
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
A           B   A             B
How can you stop the sun from shining?
A              Abm   F#m  Emaj7
What makes the world go round?(and sometime I have to say, yeah)
