Lyrics

Count ed all my mis takes and there’s on ly one, stand ing out from the list of the things I’ve (G)done.

All the rest of my crimes don’t come close

to the look on your face when I let you go.

So I built you a house from a bro ken home.

Then I wrote you a song with the words you (G)spoke.

Yeah, it took me some time but I fig ured it out: How to fix up a heart that I let down.

Now I’m search ing ev ’ry (A)lone ly place,

ev ’ry cor ner, call ing (A)out your name,

try’n’ to find you but I (A)just don’t know.

(A)Where do bro ken hearts go?

(A)Where do bro ken hearts go?

Count ed all my mis takes and there’s on ly one, stand ing out from the list of the things I’ve (G)done.

All the rest of my crimes don’t come close

to the look on your face when I let you go.

So I built you a house from a bro ken home.

Then I wrote you a song with the words you (G)spoke.

Yeah, it took me some time but I fig ured it out: How to fix up a heart that I let down.

Now I’m search ing ev ’ry (A)lone ly place,

ev ’ry cor ner, call ing (A)out your name,

try’n’ to find you but I (A)just don’t know.

(A)Where do bro ken hearts go?

(A)Where do bro ken hearts go?

(A)Where do bro ken hearts go?

(A)Where do bro ken hearts go?

(A)Where do bro ken hearts go?

  • Turn on the metronome from the top bar to build steady rhythm.
  • Use the segmented OFF / C / 1 button to toggle note labels on the staff and keys — kids learn note names faster with letters showing.
