#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...
A Sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
