WHAT BECOMES OF THE BROKEN HEARTED . . Jimmy Ruffin

        |: Em C G . . . Gdim . . . . A7 . . . . C9 :|
As I walk this land of broken dreams . . . . I have visions of many things
But happiness is just an illusion . . . . Filled with sadness and con-fusion
        What becomes of the brokenhearted . . . . Who had love that's now departed
        I know I've got to find Some kind of peace of mind Maybe-ee-aa-ae
The Fruits 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
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
        What becomes of the brokenhearted . . . . .Who had love that's now departed
        I know I've got to find Some kind of peace of mind, Help me, please
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
        Now what becomes of the brokenhearted . . . . Who had 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
        Nothing's going to stop me now I'll find a way somehow
