(originally by Jimmy Ruffin)

[Intro]
F F Dm C
Bb Dm/F Gm Eb
Bb C7 Eb Eb Dm C

[Verse 1]
Bb Dm/F
As I walk this land of broken dreams
Gm Eb
I have visions of many things
Bb Dm/F
But happiness is just an illusion
Gm D7 Fm6
Filled with sadness and confusion

[Chorus]
C Cmaj7
What becomes of the broken-hearted
Am F
Who has love that’s now departed?
C C/B Am G
I know I’ve got to find some kind of peace of mind
E7 F D#
Maybe

[Verse 2]
Bb Dm/F
The roots of love grow all around
Gm Eb
But for me they come a tumbling down
Bb C7
Every day, heartaches grow stronger
Eb Dm C
I can’t stand this pain much longer

[Verse 3]
Bb Dm/F
I walk in shadows searching for light
Gm Eb
Cold and alone no comfort in sight
Bb Dm/F
Hoping and praying for someone to care
Gm D7 Fm6
Always moving and going nowhere

[Chorus]
C Cmaj7
What becomes of the broken-hearted
Am F
Who has love that’s now departed?
C C/B Am G
I know I’ve got to find some kind of peace of mind
E7 F D#
Maybe

[Verse 4]
Bb Dm/F
I’m searching though I don’t succeed
Gm Eb
For someone’s love there’s a growing need
Bb C7
All is lost there’s no place for beginning
Eb D7 Dm C
All that’s left is an unhappy ending

[Chorus]
Bb Dm/F
What becomes of the broken-hearted
Gm Eb
Who has love that’s now departed
Bb Dm/F
I know I’ve got to find some kind of peace of mind
Gm Eb
I’ll be searching everywhere, just to find someone who cares,
Bb Dm/F
I’ll be looking every day, I know I’m gonna find a way
Gm Eb
Nothing’s going to stop me now, I’ll find a way somehow
Bb Dm/F
I’ll be searching everywhere, until I found someone who cares
Gm
I know I’ll find my way
Eb
I’m gonna find my way
Bb
I’m gonna find my way
Dm/F
I’m gonna find my way
Gm Eb
I’m gonna find my way, I’m gonna find my way

[Outro]
Bb Dm/F Gm Eb
