                                    /   /
 
 
  Bb/F     F6    Gm    Cm7/G    Bb/F    A7/E   Eb7   Eb7   Dm A7/E
 Oo oo ooh  Ooo oo etc.                                      /  /
 
[Verse]
 
Bb/F                      F6
  As I walk this land of broken dreams
Gm                  Cm7/G
  I have visions of many things
Bb/F                 F6
  But happiness is just an illusion
Gm                     D7 / Ab6
  Filled with sadness and confusion
 
[Chorus]
  C/G                  G6
  What becomes of the brokenhearted
  Am                     F/A
  Who has love that's now departed
  C/G          G6
  I know I've got to find
  Am          C/G
  Some kind of peace of mind
   E     F     Gm Eb
  May  -be      / /
 
 
[Verse]
Bb/F                  F6
  The roots of love grow all around
Gm                       Cm7/G
  But for me they come a tumbling down
Bb/F                    A7/E                  { A7/E = s/b a Dim Chord? }
  Every day heartaches grow a little stronger
 Eb7        Eb7         Dm/ A7/E
  I can't stand this pain much longer
 
 
[Verse]
Bb/F                   F6
  I walk in shadows searching for light
Gm                   Cm7/G
  Cold and alone no comfort in sight
Bb/F                     F6
  Hoping and praying for someone who cares
Gm                    D7/A    Ab6
  Always moving and going nowhere
 
 
[Chorus]
 C/G                    G6
  What becomes of the brokenhearted
 Am                     F/A
  Who has love that's now departed
  C/G        G6
  I know I've got to find
  Am           C/G
  Some kind of peace of mind
   E        F        Gm  Eb
   Help me, please   / /
 
 
[VERSE] (2:08)
Bb/F                       F6
  I'm searching though I don't succeed
Gm                         Cm7/G
  For someones love there's a growing need
Bb/F                        A7/E
  All is lost there's no place for beginning
Eb7               Eb7              Dm/ A7/E
  All that's left is an unhappy ending
 
** OUTRO (2:27)  ^^ {Chorus stays in Key of F
not modulating , for outro}
 
 Bb/F                     F6
  Now, what becomes of the brokenhearted
Gm                  Cm7/G
  Who has love that's now departed
  Bb/F                      F6
  I know I've got to find  Some kind of peace of mind
    Gm
  I'll be searching everywhere
   Cm7/G
  Just to find someone to care
   Bb/F                     F6
  I'll be looking every day I know I'm gonna be on my way
   Gm              {Ending   D7 / Ab6     Bb/F --let ring]
  Nothings going to stop me now
