Lyrics

I (D)know it’s been some time, but there’s (A)some thing on my (Bm7)mind.

You see, I (Em7)have n’t been the same since that (A)cold No vem ber day.

And what We (D)said we need ed space, but all we (A)found was an emp ty (Bm7)place.

And the (Em7)on ly thing I learned is that I (G)need you des p’rate ly.

So: (F#m7)here I (Bm7)am,

and (Em7)can you please tell me,

oh: (D)Where do bro ken (A)hearts go?

Can they find their (D)way home,

back to the o pen arms of a (Em7)love that’s wait ing there?

(A)And (D)if some bod y (A)loves you, won’t they al ways (D)love you?

I look in your eyes and I (Em7)know that you still care

(A)for (D)me.

I’ve been a (D)round e nough to know that there’s (A)dreams don’t turn to (Bm7)gold, and that there (Em7)is no eas y way; no, you (A)just can’t run a way.

And what we (D)had was so much more but than we (A)ev er an had be (Bm7)fore.

And no (Em7)mat ter how I tried, is you were (G)al ways on my mind.

So: (F#m7)here I (Bm7)am,

and (Em7)can you please tell me,

oh: (D)Where do bro ken (A)hearts go?

Can they find their (D)way home,

back to the o pen arms of a (Em7)love that’s wait ing there?

I look in your eyes and I (Em7)know that you still care

(A)for (D)me.

I’ve been a (D)me.

And (G)now that I am (F#m7)here with you, I’ll (G)nev er let you (A)go.

I (Bb)look in to your eyes and now I (G)know.

Now I (Ab)know.

(Eb)Where do bro ken hearts go?

Can they find their (Eb)way home,

back to the o pen arms of a (Fm7)love that’s wait ing there?

(Bb)And (Eb)if some bod y (Bb)loves you, won’t they al ways (Eb)love you?

I look in your eyes and I (Fm7)know that you still care.

(Eb)Where do bro ken hearts go?

Can they find their (Eb)way home,
