#1.  
[]                      [] 
As I walk this land of broken dreams, 
[]               []    []
I have visions of many things. 
[]                [] 
But happiness is just an illusion, 
[]                 []      [] 
filled with sadness and confusion. 
CHORUS:    
[]                   [] 
What becomes of the broken-hearted, 
[]                 [] 
who has love that's now departed? 
[]                       [] 
I know I've got to find some kind of peace of mind, 
[]     []  []    [] 
maybe, oh yeah! 
#2.   
[]                      [] 
The roots of love grow all around, 
[]                    []        []
but for me they come a tumbling down. 
[]                    [] 
Every day heartaches grow a little stronger, 
[]                []         [] 
I can't stand this pain much longer. 
#3.   
[]                 [] 
I walk in shadows searching for light, 
[]               []          []
cold and alone no comfort in sight. 
[]                      [] 
Hoping and praying for someone who cares, 
[]               []     [] 
always moving and going nowhere.
CHORUS: 
#4.   
[]                      [] 
I'm searching though I don't succeed, 
[]                          []       []
for someone's love there's a growing need. 
[]                      [] 
All is lost there's no place for beginning, 
[]                   []       [] 
all that's left is an unhappy ending. 
CHORUS:   
[]                   [] 
What becomes of the broken-hearted. 
[]                 []     []
who has love that's now departed. 
[]                       [] 
I know I've got to find some kind of peace of mind 
[]                           []                []
I'll be searching everywhere, just to find someone to care, 
[]                            [] 
I'll be looking every day, I know I'm gonna find a way. 
[]                            []               []
Nothings going to stop me now..I'll find a way somehow. 
[]                          []                         [] [] []
I'll be looking every day, I know I'm gonna find a way...
