A                        C#m 
  As I walk this land of broken dreams

VERSE:
  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
VERSE:
  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:
  What becomes of the brokenhearted
  Who has love that's now departed
  I know I've got to find
  Some kind of peace of mind
  Help me, please

VERSE:
  I'm searching though I don't succeed
  For someones love their's a growing need
  All is lost there's no place for beginning
  All that's left is an unhappy ending

  I know I've got to find
   A7
  Some kind of peace of mind
   D
  I'll be searching everywhere
   Dm
  Just to find someone to care
   A
  I'll be looking every day
 A7
  I know I'm gonna find a way
    D
  Nothings going to stop me now
   Dm
  I'll find a way somehow
   A
  I'll be looking every day
  A7
  I know I'm gonna find a way.....FADE OUT
